Dr. Suzanne Wright
Vocal Health Consultant
Singing since the ripe old age of 3, Suzanne has literally been in this game for longer than she can remember. Suzanne began classical training at the London School of Opera at the age of 12, and went on to earn a Masters in Jazz Musicianship, a Doctorate specializing in Advanced Vocal Production and a Doctorate in Psychology.
At 15 Suzanne went on her first tour as a back-up singer with Chris de Burgh, and her career highlights include performing as a backing singer for the legendary Elton John.
Before retiring from musical theatre, Suzanne enjoyed many lead roles, but she ultimately found her calling as a vocal instructor, and now runs her own studio, “Singing the Wright Way."
Suzanne firmly believes that—with the right training—anyone can learn to sing.
Rob Quinn
Technical Consultant
An award-winning DJ and producer with 20 years’ experience in the music industry, Rob first cut his teeth as a breakbeat DJ, spinning records at sketchy parties in the twilight years of the rave era. His love of layering beats as a DJ led to an interest in music production, and under the tutelage of San Francisco-based audio guru ill.Gates, Rob learned the ins and outs of production and sound design, and he’s been obsessively tinkering with beats ever since.
Rob is the Technical Director for KWC Canada and a long-serving KWC judge who has spent many hundreds of hours adjudicating all levels of the competition over the years. He is the head judge on the national panel, and has judged at the world level for the past three years, including the world championships in Tokyo, Japan.
Rob's services include graphic, web and sound design, audio engineering, audio/video/demo reel production and home studio set-up.
