Rob Sequeira

Rob’s music background is in drums, percussion, piano, guitar, voice and jazz. He grew up in Sydney, Australia playing drums in a 16-piece big-band called "Group Therapy". He then sang lead vocals and played piano in a jazz quintet. His vocal stylings were compared with Nat "King" Cole and Harry Connick Jr, an incredible honour. Rob’s love for teaching and coaching began with teaching drums and guitar, followed by coaching a cappella quartets and choruses in the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS), Barbershop Harmony Australia (BHA), Barbershop Harmony New Zealand (BHNZ) and Sweet Adelines International (SAI) organisations. He’s been on faculty at several California harmony schools, BHS Far Western District faculty, BHA National coaching faculty and BHNZ coaching faculties. In 2005, four years after discovering the magic of barbershop singing, Rob was asked to take on the assistant director role at Voices in Harmony, a 100+ strong a cappella chorus, under the tutelage of Dr. Greg Lyne. Rob led the chorus to a 2008 BHS International 3rd place medal as assistant director, Music Vice President and Lead section leader. Rob has designed and taught choreography for small and large choruses in America, Canada and Australia, culminating in the international bronze winning package designed for Voices in Harmony. Rob is the founding Music Director and Life Member of Vox Canvas. Vox competed at the 2025 BHS International competition in Denver, Colorado, representing Australia. Vox then went on to winning as the 2025 BHA Open Gold Medal Chorus Champions. Rob is a BHA/BHNZ certified Singing (SNG) judge and the SNG category specialist for Australia and New Zealand. He thoroughly enjoys bringing the joy of a cappella, choral and barbershop singing to ensembles via his love for singing, coaching and teaching tags.
