All these years later – in addition to singing and recording – I am still producing concerts, showcases and festivals, and all because of York, which truly did inspire me to redefine the possible.

My experience in the Music program these last four years has been a rewarding one. Being able to study under highly accomplished instructors who also cared for my professional development was encouraging and pushed me to challenge myself in new ways. With the connections and friendships, I made at this institution, I can confidently say there was no program that could have been a more perfect fit for me.

When I studied at York University I wasn’t just studying performance or composition. I was studying everything and how they all connect together. Learning how to collaborate and appreciate all those different kinds of fine arts really did help me.
