His passion for performing inspired him to relocate to Victoria in 2008 to study music, acting, and dance at the Canadian College of Performing Arts. Upon graduation, Mr. Bruce studied at the Victoria Conservatory of Music with renowned soprano and oratorio specialist, Nancy Argenta, and performed in the Opera Studio and Advanced Voice Workshop programs.
