Meet the Group:

Stephanie Lam | Creator, Alto & Arranger | @stephaniemanages

Stephanie’s reputation for being an Administrative queen, combined with her love for music, has definitely been an asset in developing her passion project – Quayside Voices. As a pianist first, she’s been able to apply her 20+ years of formal training into creating interesting and engaging five-part vocal arrangements for the band.

Stephanie loves making new connections through social media, which lead her to foster some of her most valued opportunities and connections. It also opened the door her proudest accomplishment - hosting The Real Group in February 2019.

In 2019, Stephanie officially launched her project management business “Stephanie Manages”. There, she provides administrative advice and services to a variety of clients. Through this channel, Stephanie has also become the North American Tour Manager and Representative for The Real Group. Though travels and touring are currently paused, Stephanie continues to work with clients and post-secondary institutions in bringing The Real Group Academy to them virtually.

When she’s not working, you can often find her with a bubble tea in hand while spending time with her husband Paul, her friends and family, or her kitties.

Troy Martell | Bass & Arranger | @canadianbass2

Troy is an avid singer, working with Quayside as well as VanDeca, Cor Flammae, and Phoenix Chamber Choir. Troy’s intense knowledge and passion for singing has led to work as an arranger for Quayside and VanDeca, as well as being a conductor.

During the day, Troy can be found working as an administrative clerk for local government. At night (when he’s not at rehearsals), you will find him teaching voice and piano, binge watching Netflix with his cats, or hanging out at bubble tea.

Aerhyn Lau | Tenor / Beatboxer | @aerhynlau

Aerhyn is a Vancouver-born musical theatre & TYA performer who has been gracing stages & schools all across Canada since 2004.

Aerhyn started studying music at the age of 6 with piano, and by the age of 8, joined the Vancouver Bach Children’s Chorus and started the violin. Since then, he’s picked up 5 more instruments, played in the Vancouver Youth Symphony Orchestra, and has toured all over the world.

While at first he was studying music at Capilano College, Aerhyn caught the acting bug when he started taking a musical theatre elective class. He immediately switched over to the theatre department, and hasn’t looked back since. With the training he received from Cap’s theatre program, plus some added training at Harbour Dance Centre in downtown Vancouver, Aerhyn has also added teaching dance & choreography to his list of skills, having not only taught dance at a few high schools around the lower mainland, but has also choreographed a handful of musicals.
