Denise Nyce was born in Penticton and grew up in Kelowna. As a child she was surrounded by music and it came naturally for her to pursue her passion for singing. As a youth Denise performed locally in Kelowna and now as an adult is again sharing her voice with the public. 


From a recent performance at Parks Alive to local coffee houses, Denise is establishing a musical reputation founded clearly on her high quality, soulful vocals.

You'll want to hear the story of how John discovered Denise, but you have to be there to hear it!

Reviews:

‘Before Daniel Gervais’ concert even got started, we had a problem: how to find enough seats for the standing room only crowd! - Bob Park, Oliver Daily News

‘Daniel’s ability as a musician is extraordinary’ - Ian G Porteous, Stories of Canada Educational Services

‘As an entertainment agent, I am called upon to make artist selections for a wide array of clients, from small offices to major corporations, festivals and fairs. In the artists that I select I look for people who are talented,  of course. But they also need to have other qualities, among them adaptability, resourcefulness, energy, and creativity.Daniel has all of those qualities and then some. He embraces life with a sense of “joie de vivre” that is not often seen these days. He truly loves to perform and we get wonderful comments from clients’ - Margie Zahn – Entertainment Agent Mitchell Entertainment

Workshops will be taking place during the day! 

The workshops were FULL and sweet music wafted over to the workshop next door making Robert a very happy man.
