February 1, 2026What an amazing addition to your event
Not only the music, the voice... Gloria elevated our event to a next level. The piano and the voice make the event feel you are in a private concert.
The best part, we told her what a couple songs we like and let her decide what songs she would play and sing, and the music she chose to play all of them were perfect for the event and exactly what we were looking for.
We would definitely hire her again.

December 23, 2025Wonderful Evening of Music
Gloria was a great addition to our company Christmas party. She was easy to communicate with, very kind and polite. And the addition of her voice along with the piano music though the evening was wonderful. Would absolutely consider having her join again.

October 18, 2025Entertainment for a Stampede Breakfast
We were thrilled to have Gloria perform at our Stampede Breakfast this July. She is a true professional performer with lots of experience. Gloria brought her soulful country vocals and dazzling piano talent to supply just the right ambiance for the party. Her blend of heartfelt contemporary tunes and crowd-pleasing classics had everyone smiling, clapping, and enjoying the Stampede vibe. With genuine charm, Gloria turned a casual morning into a musical celebration. It was the perfect addition to get into the Stampede spirit!

About
At 3 years of age Gloria fell in love with the piano. She began competing in piano competitions at 5 years of age. At age 13 Gloria attended Johannesen International School of the Fine Arts in Victoria, British Columbia. She started to compose music at the age of 9. This began a lifelong love affair of combining classical music elements with popular contemporary music. After high school, Gloria went on to receive her Bachelor Degree of Music from McGill.
Soon after McGill, Gloria embarked on the journey of being a freelance pianist in Montreal and Toronto. This brought her to teaching piano in Kanawake, Montreal and Chauteguay Quebec. This also brought her into the arena of working with professionals such as, Marc Hamilton (Comme J'ai Toujours D'aimer), Producer Marc Barry (Won't You Take Me to Funky Town) fame, and recording at Metal Works Studio (Gil Moore-Triumph) as session pianist.
Gloria then left the East to come back to the Canadian West.
She started teaching piano privately and soon entered the live music scene. Performing as a professional collaborative pianist for a variety of professional choirs and vocal soloists.
Soon Gloria found herself creating music for film. This then brought her to finding herself playing keyboards in rock and country bands, adding in backup vocals and some times lead.
She worked with sound producer Byron Foster at The Beach Studios (Lanny Williamson), as a part song writer for "Take Me Home" for the Women's Shelter National Campaign. She recorded as the vocalist and pianist for the song.
The United Way then used her original song, Rockabye, co-written with Byron Foster for their National Campaign the same year.
All of this experience has created the Artist she is today. She is now working on her fourth album to be released this Winter.
