Welcome Singers!

Welcome Singers

It is important to develop each singer's signature sound. Every singer is different and should be coached as a "unique" artist.

Whether you sing professionally, in an ensemble, in church worship, in recording sessions or for your own enjoyment, I believe each singer has a unique talent that can be tapped by understanding how to apply technique, style and personality to their voice.

With results comes confidence!

Read my weekly BLOG. I write about INSPIRING people and events.

We get together at the Bissett School of Business at Mount Royal University. Our goal is to help you find your way in the new musical landscape: creativity, understanding the context of your music in history, navigating the music business, engaging fans via social media, and more.

Come on by, listen in, participate, collaborate, be surprised and inspired by all the hidden musical talent in Calgary. Learn from some great mentors like Brian Farrell, Neil MacGonigill and other musical guests.

Neil MacGonigill is a pivotal player on the Canadian music scene who founded the Canadian record label "Indelible Music". He is highly respected in the music industry and has been influential in the careers of some of Canada's finest talents. Artists who have worked with MacGonigill include legends: Ian Tyson, Billy Cowsill and K.D. Lang as well as artists: Jann Arden, Paul Brandt, Anne Loree, Steve Pineo, Beautiful Joe, Beautiful Dreamers, Karla Anderson, Joe Nolan and Chip Taylor ("Wild Thing" and "Angel in the Morning").

Past coaching and consultations include musicians/songwriters: Paul Brandt, Raghav, Lindsay Ell, Kalan Porter, Ashwin Sood, Sarah McLachlan, Jann Arden, Steve Pineo, Anne Loree, Denis Grady, Bob Halligan, Jason Carter, Pierce Pettis and Jeff Lillico.

Local artist Lindsay Ell is a long-time student of Farrell’s adds, “Brian teaches singer/songwriters to seek the intent behind any piece of music, and develops a way to help the singer communicate that intent through performance.” Ashwin Sood, producer and musician, says, “Brian Farrell is one of the main reasons I am a musician today. He taught me everything there is to know about using your ears, and really listening to melody, harmony, and understanding lyrics."

RAGHAV: Guest Singer/Songwriter

Signed to Cordova Bay Records, the 29-year-old Calgarian first came on the Canadian national radar in 2007 when the Globe and Mail profiled him as one of “Canada’s best kept secrets in the arts”.

He has indeed been a ‘well kept secret’ but that depends a great deal on where you were living.

If you had been living in London, England, you would know Raghav sold an impressive 1.3 million copies of his debut CD Storyteller. You would also know that he won a MOBO Award for Best Collaboration, and two UK Asian Music Awards for Best Newcomer and Best Single. In 2005 he also won an Urban Music Award for Best Chart Act.
If you had been living in India you would know that Storyteller was the 6th best selling international album of all time for the Indian territory. You would also be familiar with his sophomore CD, Identity; would know that he had a #3 charted single and that he had won a Southern Asian Music Award for Best Artist, and an Asian Achievers Award.
