"Wilst"

"The songs have a very smooth summery feel to them that could make one feel as if they were just relaxing on a beautiful summer's day." - The Plant (Montreal QC)

Bio

Wilst is a solo artist and multi-instrumentalist based in Montreal, Quebec. After playing and recording with a couple of bands early on in his career, he decided to get formal musical training. Wilst went on to complete his Masters Degree in guitar performance at McGill University. After graduation in 2006, he, along with his brother, formed the indie pop rock band CitiZen Folk. In 2008 they released a 7 song Ep entitled My Friends. Many shows as well as radio airplay in Ontario and Quebec followed. When the group disbanded in 2009, Wilst used the opportunity to embark on a solo career with the self release of his first CD While I Was Waiting in 2010 which was played on university and community radio stations across Canada.

Wilst independently released his second CD entitled Strip Away in September 2012 also being played on university and community radio stations. The original songs that he composes can be labelled as alternative/pop. His influences include Bruce Springsteen and Sam Roberts, and can be heard in his music.
