Brandyn Coulas - RST
Brandyn Coulas was born in Ottawa on April 17th, 1998. He lives in kanata with his family and two brothers and attends All Saints High School. Since a young age, Brandyn has fallen in love with music. When he was young, he was inspired by his grandfather who used to be in a band and loved to sing for the family. He was inspired to take piano lessons and he did his Grade 4 RCM piano exam. When he was in elementary school, he was in some of the school’s musicals and was a member of the OCSB young voices choir. In grades ⅞, he was a member of the All Saints ⅞ band, playing percussion. In high school, he was a member of Bluesettes and Co., a vocal jazz ensemble at All Saints. Also, he is a member of the improv A-team, Student Council, All Saints Show Choir, and has performed in many plays and musicals during his time at All Saints. Without his experiences in the arts department, he wouldn’t be half the person he is today and he is very grateful for all the opportunities he has had so far. Music has been a huge part of his life and he loves performing.
