Bio - Trisha Gunpath

Trisha Gunpath

Soprano

After her big solo break singing once verse of a carol in the Children’s Christmas musical at her church in Grade 6 (Thanks Mrs. Norcross!), Trisha began singing with the Toronto Children's Chorus in Grade 8. While she was already a pianist, she realized that singing was where her passion lay. She graduated from the voice program at Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts, then went on to obtain her Bachelor of Fine Arts in music from York University. She has been a member of the Gospel choir Toronto Mass Choir www.tmc.ca since 1992, and was with the Nathaniel Dett Chorale www.nathanieldettchorale.org from 2001 - 2010.

Over the years, she has been blessed to travel to Trinidad, Barbados, France, England, Romania and Poland in addition to across Canada and the US as a singer with these groups. She serves as the Communications Coordinator and on the committee for the Toronto Mass Choir.

In 2007 she trained as a Special Effects Makeup Artist, and also loves expressing herself through this form of art. While making brides beautiful is always nice, she prefers working on special effects projects to make people look strange, elderly and bloody. She has yet to meet a bride who wants to be a zombie on her wedding day, but hasn't given up hope that this may happen.

This is her first solo recital, but hopefully not her last.
