Taste of the Caribbean is a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating and promoting Caribbean culture in Canada through diverse activities and events. Our flagship event is a 4-day festival held annually on the second weekend in July, at the Old-Port of Montreal, which brings together a vibrant mix of music, dance, cuisine, and art from across the Caribbean diaspora. The festival and other related events, encourages visitors to ‘taste’ their way through the islands by way of live musical performances from homegrown talent to Grammy-Award and JUNO-Award winning artists, dance workshops, music business master classes, video documentaries, educational and historical discussion panels, local authentic Caribbean restaurants, international guest Chefs and Rum Ambassadors via cooking and mixology demonstrations, and more.
The large majority of our performing artists, associated products, and food vendors are culturally and authentically Caribbean in almost every way possible.

1975 – 1981 Ian first started to study vocal technique and interpretation with Jane Kee (Ellison). Her approach can be best described as “the voice as the window to the soul”. He learnt much about how who you are shapes how you naturally use your voice.
In ’81 he started giving private singing lessons as well as assisting at several of Jane Kee’s singing intensives given at Concordia’s Loyola Campus.
In 1988 he attended a workshop at the McGill music faculty given by Jo Estill. Her physiological approach backed up by years of peer reviewed scientific research really changed his idea of how to train voices. After many years of work and experimentation with the Estill system he attained Licensure as a Certified Master Teacher of the Estill Voice Training System in 2002.
