Hey everyone, Dustin here... I'm a young aspiring opera singer from Mission, BC, who caught the musical bug when I was 8 years old after my grandmother registered me in the Mission Community Choristers. Ever since then song has been my passion! I've been blessed to have already sung for the Queen and to have performed with several major opera companies including Seattle Opera, Canadian Opera Company, and the Vancouver Opera. I've been given the opportunity to take my singing career, and training to the next level, to be mentored by the great Canadian tenor Richard Margison, star of the Metropolitan Opera.

This is one of the greatest opportunities of my life as a young tenor being able to study under Maestro Margison, his wife internationally renowned stage director, Valerie Kuinka, and repertoire coach pianist Jennifer Tung.  This artistic "dream team"  will help me take my singing to the next level... and this is where I need your support!

Money raised from this campaign will go towards a year of intensive vocal, dramatic, and musical training, in Toronto, under Richard Margison, Valerie Kuinka, and Jennifer Tung, with two voice lessons, one drama coaching, and two repertoire coachings a week. 

I need your financial help to make this a reality. I need your help to become a great opera singer, to be able to share my gift of song with the world. 

I have seen first hand how music, in particular the voice, can uplift and bring comfort to the suffering and broken hearted. I've seen how it inspires people to greatness... please help me share my gift with others, to inspire others to become the best they can be, through song. Help me raise others up...
