Our Story

Chantal Hackett is the creative force behind Sing House Studios. She came up with the concept back in 2005 while teaching in her mothers livingroom, with only a small number of students.

Word spread quickly about Chantal’s voice lessons, and soon she opened her very own studio in the heart of Orléans, home of hundreds of music and voice students, otherwise known as #singingaddicts.

Chantal loved to sing, but struggled to find a community that she belonged to in the music scene - so she created her own!  She came to the realization that many other individuals felt the way she did, and needed a safe space to express their passion for music.

Sing House’s mission is all about being innovative and learning by doing, all the while building confidence and having fun!

Chantal credits her experiences with music for the person she is today. All of us go through challenging times, and her goal is to use music to teach the tools necessary to help students overcome obstacles and succeed in life. Chantal certainly did! 

Chantal has put in countless hours performing in her community and outside of Ottawa. 

"If you really want this: you will perform as much as you can because you will learn more about yourself after each show you do", says Chantal.

Chantal continues to sing professionally, and takes pride in being a positive role model for her students and supporters. For more about Chantal read her biography.

In 2020, the Sing House Studios family grew with the addition of Erica Brighthill as our Master Vocal Coach and Studio Operations Manager. Since then, Erica has become a vital force in strengthening our studio’s vision and mission. Working hand-in-hand, Chantal and Erica have built a space where creativity and passion truly flourish.

Erica ensures that our core values—community, growth, and excellence—are woven into every aspect of our studio. From our dynamic live shows and comprehensive courses to our personalized coaching and innovative programs, her influence is felt in everything we do. Our commitment remains unwavering: to provide an environment where our students thrive, our coaches excel, and our community continues to shine.
