Hello! My name is William. I'm 25 years old and I am a first-year music major at York University in Toronto. I thought I'd introduce myself (as another student did earlier). I have 9 years of classical piano training, played the trombone in high school, and am currently teaching myself music production on Ableton Live. I'm very excited to be here and work with the amazing Mr. Brown! I have not had any voice training and I am definitely looking forward to developing & strengthening my foundational skills so I can do more advanced skills within the sphere of singing. And that plays into how I'm gonna make albums throughout my life to reflect on different periods and stages of life as I age. I'm not chasing fame (I would HATE to be in the public eye 24/7), but I do ultimately want a life of performing. Which I've started by performing at open mics in the city on some occasions. I did abandon my musical endeavours for years in pursuit of "stability". Long story short, me abandoning my love for music led to a quarter-life-crisis because I was actively ignoring a part of me which is so important to how I express myself, how I cope with life, and connect with people. So that made me ultimately decide to pursue the arts out of passion. And I've not had many musical mentors in my life, so I'd love to be one. I'd love to spread my love for music to other people. To get there, I must be a student before I become a teacher. I've always wanted to study voice but wasn't able to for a long time. But here I am, amongst a very talented community. I'm very happy to be here and grow amongst all of you. Happy practising! Cheers! - William

Hello! Going to really quickly introduce myself since I'm new to the group! My name is Ben Weiss and I am an actor, singer and theatre coach from Chicago. I have been performing professionally for seven years and have a BA in Theatre. I have continued my voice training through programs like New York Vocal Coaching, The Lovetri Method, and Broadway Vox. I am excited to work with Mr. Brown at his studio and to delve deeper into the world of Bel Canto! Here is a video of me singing for a one person concert! Excited to get to work.
