About Me


With grassroots from Northern Manitoba, Canada, this singer/songwriter and self taught guitarist, composes raw material that embodies strength, pain and ultimate identity, but defies definition. Personal experiences come through in her tunes. She tells the story of the "good and the not so good".
With the DIY approach to her work, wilsoN connects through her willingness to learn, share and grow. Busking, open mics, encouragement from friends & family, house party gigs, functions and performances at music festivals have also helped her along her path.
waNda has performed solo shows in places such as Vancouver, Nelson, B.C. Calgary, Alberta, The Pas-OCN, Manitoba, Flin Flon, Manitoba, and of course throughout the city of Winnipeg. While sharing stages with many talented musicans, wilsoN continues to seek, create and walk forward on her journey, to wherever she may roam.....
