John Drinkwater II (he/him)

John grew up surrounded by music and knows just how life-changing the skills, friendships, and memories created through making music can be. He feels privileged to bring that perspective to his role as Fundraising Manager at MusiCounts, where he works with donors and partners to help more young people across Canada access music education. John studied jazz trumpet at McGill University and later earned a Master of Arts in Music and an MBA in Arts, Media and Entertainment Management from York University. When he’s not at work, you can usually find him cheering for the Detroit Lions, golfing, reading in the park, or checking out new restaurants.
