About Your Teacher

I'm Deanna Badik - a Pocono Mountain native with a passion for singing, performing, and guiding others towards their vocal goals!

​

For two decades, my life has been dedicated to my own musical education and the exploration of performance across different genres. My formal training started right here in the Poconos with renown tenor, Garry Grice, in the very room where DB Vocal Studio was brought to life. I continued on to the Boyer College of Music at Temple University, where I studied opera and vocal performance under the guidance of the incredible Heldentenor, George Gray.

​

My love for performing has led me all over the world, from the national anthem at the nearby RailRiders PNC Field, to operatic concerts in Mozart's birthplace of Salzburg, Austria. Locally, the Shawnee Playhouse and Sherman Theater have been stages upon which to hone in on my love for performing musical theater.

​

Unable to stay away from the beautiful Poconos, I've settled here in Tobyhanna with my wonderful husband, David, my beautiful newborn son, DJ, and our mischievous hairless Sphynx cat named Cairo. I love crocheting, cooking, and traveling the world with my husband, but my most beloved passion is, and will always be, singing.
