This week’s Millennial Mentor takes the pursuit of ‘doing what moves you’ to a whole new level. He fell in love with singing through Disney movies and 'Barney and Friends' when he was just 4 years old. Since his first time from ‘The Clean Up Song’, Charles Sy has filled his life with music and singing.

 

Today, he is one of the most promising young opera singers in Canada, having recently taken home First Place and the Audience Choice Award in the Canadian Opera Company’s Centre Stage National Competition.

 

This week, follow Charles on his journey from student, to amateur to professional singer. He takes us ‘backstage’ and takes us through the ups and downs along his path. 

 

The life lessons that are woven through Charles’ amazing story are powerful. Even if you’re not an artist or musician, there is much to be learned from his stories of perseverance, discipline, commitment to becoming great at the thing he loved the most. 

 

Tune in, listen closely, and like Charles, do what moves you.
