Feist
Biography
Widely recognized as one of the most compelling vocalists and songwriters in her genre, Leslie Feist is a 14-time Juno Award-winning solo artist and founding member of Broken Social Scene. Following the breakout success of her sophomore album Let It Die, she went on to achieve international acclaim with 2007`s The Reminder: a gold-certified release that landed on best-of-the-year lists from outlets like Pitchfork, NPR, Spin, and Rolling Stone, along with earning four Grammy nominations. The Reminder paved the way for Feist`s appearance on such iconic shows as “Saturday Night Live” and “Sesame Street”, and setup her Polaris-Prize-winning masterpiece, Metals. Metals was one of three of Feist’s albums, including her most recent, Multitudes – to receive “Album of the Year” honours from New York Times – the only artist to accomplish such a feat. “A soul-stirring career highlight”, praised The Guardian, 2023’s Multitudes saw her reclaim performance spaces with boundary-breaking performances in the round and put her once again back at the Grammy and Juno Awards in 2024, winning for Best Adult Alternative Album at the latter.
