INDUSTRY QUOTES & STUDENT SUCCESSES!

This was one of the best master classes we have had! A great balance between advice, counsel, info and performance coaching. The addition of “going deep into themselves” via breathing, mindfulness and meditation to help each student find his/her most authentic and powerful self and performance was really appreciated and supported what we teach here at LACM. WELL DONE, Ken

"Great lesson, very inspiring!  Can't wait to put all this valuable information to use when we start touring...Ken knows what a singer needs, and has all the energy and sensitivity needed to make you feel good enough to break out of old restrictive habits.  I sang for hours after the lesson and will be back for sure!"


Ken Stacey is a singer’s singer : by that I mean he is highly respected by other singers here in LA and in fact globally. The care with which he approaches each project, demo or high profile show, is indeed commendable and quite often awe inspiring! I’ve known Ken for 20 years or so and after several projects, realized this guy could sing ANYTHING, and with grace and humility thrown into the mix you won’t find a better fit. I invited Ken to sing back up with us on Elton John’s live shows, and being a very competent guitar player also, I gave him quite a workload which he handled beautifully. A couple of months ago, Elton and our band were doing some tracks at the legendary Village studios, and we needed backgrounds - gospel, rock...the whole deal. I suggested to Elton that we use Ken...Elton knows Ken well, and was suitably blown away with what transpired from these sessions. Ken’s ideas and willingness to collaborate with other musicians make him my first choice in this highly competitive field. It doesn’t hurt that his talents run to being a killer pop producer! I’ll be back in the studio with EJ soon so he may be busy thru Spring! Leave a message - he always gets back to you whether it’s a charity gig or a well paid session! Love & Peace!

I'd say Las Vegas Week was the week I discovered I could sing higher...Ken Stacey, one of the (American Idol) vocal coaches got it out of me!
