Now working almost exclusively as an actor, writer, and producer in the Film & Television industry, Camp on Fire Productions Co-Founder Ocean began his arts career as a vocalist at a young age in the Southern Alberta prairies. After having won awards for classical voice (AB Provincial Music Festival, Concerto Competition, Dr. Dasha Goody Memorial Foundation Scholarship), they chose the Musical Theatre career path, for which they now hold a Master’s Degree from Guildford School of Acting, at the University of Surrey, UK.
Ocean’s career has taken them from the prairies, across the pond to England, and to Toronto, which they now call home. In the 15 years Ocean has devoted to their artistic career, they have performed lead and supporting roles in musicals such as: A Little Night Music, Spring Awakening, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, & Next to Normal. They have written and performed numerous cabarets, plays, and musicals, and has recently been developing a Non-Binary musical with Juno Winner & Grammy Nominee Pablosky Rosales, from the Cuban band Cubanismo. As a writer and producer for Film & Television, their most recent endeavour is a TV Pilot for the comedy series they co-created, “The Bounce,” which featured key creatives from Schitt’s Creek, Kim’s Convenience, and Kids in the Hall.
Alongside their artistic career, Ocean has invested countless hours into their career as a vocal coach, and now works with singers of all skill levels in Pop, Jazz, and Musical Theatre with techniques from Estill to Alexander, as well as some which are unique to singers on their side of the Atlantic. They are one of the few vocal coaches in North America to incorporate
techniques found in the Laryngeal Conditioning System, which aims at freeing the voice through balancing acoustics & power, dealing with issues in registration, and allowing singers to produce a healthy mixed belt. Ocean has sat in on studio sessions with their students, helped to craft & write original material, and helped to produce demos from their studio.

Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!

Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!

I absolutely LOVE Tylor. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Tylor really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.

Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection.

I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.

Throughly enjoyed my lessons with Express and Ian! Would definitely recommend. I looked for a long time for a singing teacher that I could have fun with, connect with, and grow my voice. Ian was definitely that teacher for me. The concerts were great too to be a part of. Thank you guys!
