Singer Biographies
Jonathan Quick, tenor
Who are you?
A musician, a singer, an artist, a computer geek, a sailor, a hiker, a coffee addict. I love sound in general and music in particular.
Member since...
Yes, I'm a member, since I like singing, and since they haven't kicked me out yet. I joined in 1994.
I grew up in...
a safe environment, with a harpsichord at my fingertips. The harpsichord lives in Vancouver.
I would describe my personal style as...
easygoing, cool, and hip. Others might say I'm reserved, cryptic, and maybe a little strange, but what do they know?
Secretly, I dream of...
Avril Lavigne. Guess it's not a secret anymore...
What's your earliest musical memory?
Playing a harpsichord recital when I was 5. As for my parents, they remember me singing (yelling) "bowah deeza motorbike" incessantly in the back seat of the car.
Good music goes well with...
an appreciative audience. What's the point if there's no-one around to hear it?.
