He focused his career on vocal technique, as well as performing and recording original material. Galen is a versatile musician and enjoys coaching voices ranging anywhere from pop and RnB styles to contemporary jazz, and is a great fit for those interested in learning the best way to develop, find, and record their own voice. He has performed in groups ranging in a variety of genres; anywhere from RnB and jazz to latin and choral music. He has also worked with one of Humber’s work study programs entitled Jazz in the Schools, travelleing to TDSB schools across the city performing jazz, blues, RnB and soul for young students with less opportunity to be educated in the history of jazz and experience live music. He loves to sing in various roles – whether it’s lead, background or chorus and has an effective approach to passing on skillsets required in each scenario.

Thank you Galen, Thank you front desk team, and Thank you Singer's Edge." - SD. • "When my child goes into class, she learns something new or works on something that makes her better. As a parent, it will be helpful to have feedback on what the teacher thinks of the student's abilities, how they are learning/improving and what are the milestones. So we can measure her growth as well." - AO. • "Galen was excellent. Understandable, fun, compassionate, zeroed in on what I need to do next as a singer.
