Allison is an interesting and unique artist who enjoys
an eclectic performing career. Her training began at a very
early age in her hometown of St. John's, Newfoundland. After
high school, she moved to Toronto, Ontario.
The Beethoven Moment
It was spring in Toronto. Allison was unhappily wading through
a Psych degree. The one thing that sustained her, singing
in the Toronto Mendlessohn Youth Choir, brought her to the
majestic Roy Thompson Hall. Elmer Isler stood at the podium,
and a mass choir of 200 voices surrounded her. They had
reached the Beethoven number. Allison was usually absorbed
by the music, but that night, she was distracted by Abnormal
Psych 102. "What's wrong with me?" She looked
over the orchestra. "I'm in this amazing place with
incredible musicians. Why I am letting stuff take me from
this moment." Her gaze fell on the cello. The bow swept
across the strings, and the world shifted.... Elmer Isler
lifted his hands and the 200 voices rose from their seats.
Allison opened her mouth and belted out that German like
nothing before.
Since that day, Allison has devoted herself to the arts.
She acts in theatre, film, television, and commercials.
She has trained her voice classically, but has performed
many forms of music. She sings cabaret, music theatre, gospel,
jazz, and anything that can raise her passion. She has written
and directed shows for fundraising efforts.
Allison has founded Jarvis Muse Productions in the interest
of creating and showcasing Canadian talent.
