His melodies of wisdom resonate deeply, teaching us that greatness is not forged in shortcuts but in unwavering dedication. He empowers us to shatter boundaries and reach new heights. To be guided by such an incredible man is to embark on a harmonious journey where dreams take flight, and the music within us finds its resounding voice.

"Jaanz is at the forefront of talent development in Australia."

Ian Molly Meldrum - Music Industry Legend
“My memories as a young girl being taught by David were some of my most memorable and favourite times. I dreamt of being taught by the David Jaanz when I started at the school, I watched and was always so inspired and in awe of him at the JAANZ Camps… that dream came to life and not only did David teach music, for me he was a mentor of all things, life, belief, strength, power. I felt so safe with David and so loved. Still to this day all these years later, I feel so lucky to have David in my corner not only as a mentor but as a friend, as somebody I know will always listen and be there. An incredible man, an incredible teacher. Absolutely adore you Dave.”

Bonnie Anderson, Winner of Australia’s Got Talent, recording artist and actress
"For over two decades, David Jaanz has been an inspiring mentor and teacher in my life. He has an extraordinary ability to encourage and uplift people to bring out the uniqueness that is within and I have been personally impacted throughout my time as an aspiring singer. I crossed paths with David at a pivotal time in my life, aged just 18, and his on my journey has been immeasurable. He believed in me from the very beginning, speaking life into my aspirations as a singer, artist, and most importantly as a person. With David’s encouragement along with the other great teachers at the school, I found my voice and shed my shyness, blossoming into the person I am today. There have been some times in my career that I clearly remember David making time to be there for me including most recently my time on the Voice where his words and technique helped sustain me preparing me for each performance and I am grateful for his dedication and care. David’s influence is more than just a passing chapter in my life; it's an enduring testament to the transformative power of encouragement. To my mentor and friend, thank you for your unwavering belief in me. "

Tarryn Stokes, The Voice WINNER 2023
“Coach encouraged me to constantly be practicing every week, got me on multiple classes during each week and making heaps of demos to send in to the Idol’s music team. Without his help, I definitely don’t think I would have been as confident or prepared. He helped me to keep pushing even when I started crumbling from all the pressure of the show. I’m very grateful for his help.”

Royston Sagigi-Baira, Australian Idol 2023 Winner
“Keep doing what you’re doing because we need great singers, and...your school is the first port-of-call every time we come looking”.

Peter Karpin, A&R Sony Music, Universal Music, EMI
“David has firstly been a crucial part in my story and journey as an artist today and I’m so honoured for the opportunities he provided for me and the way he supported me not only on stage but off the stage too. He is a big reason I am where I am today. David has always pushed his students to the best they can be and has elevated them to levels that are incredible due to attention detail and an amazing approach to voice and music. He goes the extra yard in nurturing someone’s voice and their simple well-being. Love ya coach!”

Isaiah Firebrace, X Factor Winner, Eurovision, recording artist
“[JAANZ is] the most successful school for singing which now breeds some of the best singers in Australia."

- Ralph Carr, Ralph Carr Management
“David pours his heart into teaching. His dedication, love for the craft and attention to detail can’t be understated. The vocal training that his wife, Lynn Jaanz, started with me as a young boy, David helped to see through. As I grew, his experience, talent and determination helped take my voice from strength to strength. Thanks for always giving me your best, coach”.

- Harrison Craig, The Voice Winner
"I wouldn't be here without your guidance, love and support! Everything you've ever envisioned is coming true."

Sheridan Adams, Musical Theatre Star (Elphaba, Wicked Australian 2023 Tour)
“David Jaanz personifies the relentless pursuit of excellence through a never ceasing, never fading energy fuelled by the desire to inspire and encourage each person he meets to be the greatest version of themselves. Having impacted countless lives (including my own), David, in my opinion, will forever be one of the most unsung heroes of the Australian/Global Music Industry.”

Jarrad Rogers, Producer, President of NOIZE Group Pty Ltd
"David entered our life at a point when Jael Wena was just beginning her journey in the music industry after being selected to represent Australia at Junior Eurovision in Belarus. We were brand new to the industry and really had little idea of what we were doing or what to expect. We prayed that God would send the right people around Jael and our family to mentor us and help direct us. Along came David JAANZ, the most incredible singing coach and mentor this country has ever seen. David believed in Jael from the beginning and identified the gift she carried. He nurtured her, spoke life into her and showed her how to give her gift back to the Lord as an offering. David is a man that leads by example and lives his life with the highest of standards, operating with a heart of integrity, humility and honour. He exudes love and shines so bright in the darkness. We are so blessed to have had David mentor us on this journey which has included: Junior Eurovision, Australia’s Got Talent, The Voice season 11 and as an entire family on The Voice Generations. David has believed in us and stood by us through thick and thin and we’re so blessed by his faith and courage. We will always honour David for the great man that he is and the faithful seeds he has sown into our family."

The Wena’s, Runner-Up The Voice Generations 2022, parents to Jail Wena (Eurovision, The Voice)
"David and Lynn Jaanz run and extraordinary singing school. Their students (many of whom we have worked with) have achieved success in every area and genre of the Australian music industry; securing major international recording and publishing deals, having no 1 hit singles selling multi-platinum units her and abroad, winning multiple TV talent shows, songwriting awards, toplining, working in film television etc. They are people of great integrity and honest and have a genuine profound passion to nurture and support upcoming Australian talent and take them to the highest level. We are honoured to share this journey with David and Lynn and can’t recommend them more highly.”

Barb and Adrian Hannan, The Songstore (producers and songwriters)
“[David] understands that for a singer/student to be truely great, they need to discover their own voice. The impact David Jaanz has had on Australian music cannot be overstated. He has coached some of the country’s most successful artists and continues to develop new talent. In all this, he has one clear goal in mind – for each singer’s unique voice to be the greatest it can be! I cannot recommend David more highly as one of the greatest singing teachers this country has ever seen.”

Jarrad Rogers, Producer, President of NOIZE Group Pty Ltd
"David Jaanz is the master coach. He instils this unbridled confidence and belief in his students and helps them achieve their dreams. Believing is one thing but what David does is shows his students what is required to achieve true mastery. He nurtures, guides, and helps them navigate through the challenges of life as they embark on a journey of discovery, developing their gift and finding and owning their voice. He does this by helping them understand that success comes by adopting a relentless work ethic and disciplined approach to continue improving to achieve their true potential. David Jaanz has a gift, and he has made an incredible difference to all who have benefited from knowing him."

John Karagounis, Managing Director & CEO, The CEO Circle
"David Jaanz is a once in a lifetime kind of person. I feel so blessed for our paths to have aligned in the way they did. I came to him at age 11 for singing lessons, reluctantly and with very little self belief, he saw something in me that was the sole force in continuing lessons and now pursuing music as my career. Through the gospel, ‘emotion-centred’ approach of his training, I unlocked parts of myself I didn’t know existed nor did I understand the magic or divine anointing that allowed for unexplainable sounds and musical connection and worship to pour out of me. It’s funny being apart of a singing school as reputable and high-calibre as Jaanz, your perception and understanding of singing is that of a world-class standard, and it has become blindingly apparent to me the uniqueness and individual authenticity that is promoted to those who train under David that you simply cannot find anywhere else. I feel that without David, I would not be the person or artist I am today, for he inspired belief in me when I had nothing left and never paid any mind to performative/generic/commercial aspects of the industry that can really shatter some people, but instead always made it about the gift of music, and now that’s the only thing I want to do for the rest of my life. Continue sharing that gift."

Grace Laing, The Voice Kids, VCA Musical Theatre
"Your passion and guidance for emerging talent is second to none. When the music business looked like it was about to implode, you dreamed of and created fearless expansion. You have done so much, for so many! David, congratulations on your Legacy."

Richard Rinaudo - Founder/Director Star Music Group of Companies
"David is a once in a life time vocal coach, mentor and friend. Growing up, singing lessons with him were more than just warm ups and practicing a song. He taught us something that, no school or organisation had, and that was how to believe in oneself and the power of your words, the internal and external dialogue we use everyday. He taught us how to think and act like champions. Most, if not everything I have set out to achieve, I have applied the same process of what I learned with David. Those weekly one hour lessons, revolutionised my life and many others. As a child, practicing the piano for me meant imagining a world of music on a sheet of paper with the keys of piano printed on it, David paid it forward and gifted me a white baby grand which still lives with me today. Truly a beautiful human with a heart of gold."

Caterina Torres, Ricky Martin Tour Support, The Voice, Recording Artist
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to my vocal Coach David Jaanz for being my encourager and sounding board throughout The Voice! He coached me through every song and would call and pray for me and speak positive affirmations over me to help me get me out of my head and into self belief. But also he has always done this throughout my life and when I wasn’t even pursuing music he would leave messages of encouragement. Also he has a book out now if you want to be encouraged too! Anyways thank you David you are always championing others and I’m forever grateful xx "

Tarryn Stokes - The Voice 2023 WINNER
“From day one coach has always pushed me beyond my limits and taught me lessons that I will never forget. His attention to detail inspired my craft and has given me confidence to strive for excellence. I’m lucky to have someone who believes in me more than I ever believed in myself. I am so proud to be under your guidance, coach.

Jacotene, International Recording Artist, Winner Triple J Unearthed High
"I have worked with David Jaanz on multiple projects over several decades. David has an extraordinary gift for spotting talent at an early stage and an even greater gift for nurturing and encouraging these lucky people. He imbues confidence and ensures that his students achieve their potential and beyond."

Graeme Rowland, Former Executive Producer Seven Network
"David Jaanz has always been a generous and supportive friend to my family and I. From his teaching me when I was younh my foundations in singing. I have the greatest respect for David."
