Seemingly predestinate for a vocation in classical and opera, Dusk changed his line at the age of 18 afterwards hearing Tony Bennett and Sarah Vaughan. His newfound passion for vocal music earned him the top spot in 1998's Canadian National Exhibition Rising Star Competition, beating out 654 contestants.
