Tapping into the long tradition of catchy hooks, punchy lyrics, and unforgettable melodies forged by pop music's greatest songwriters, 26-year-old Wes Walls delivers a sound of singer-songwriter style complexity, soaring anthemic choruses, and straight-ahead Britrock. For ten years, Wes has been crafting his skills in writing and performing, taking the stage in various incarnations as a solo acoustic act and frontman for his own rock band. After a year studying journalism in university, Wes - armed with catchy songs, passion, and determination - took a chance and decided to pursue a career in music. Knowing he would need an edge to succeed, he enrolled in the Selkirk College's Contemporary Music and Technology School, graduating two years later with a wide set of new skills and talent. Yearning for life experience, Wes took a year to travel Europe with his guitar, settling in London and playing regular gigs as a solo act. He returned to Canada when his time was up, and planted his feet in Vancouver, where he joined a rock band called Whitfield as lead guitar player. He eventually put together a rock group of his own, called weswalls, and became a regular on the Vancouver indie band circuit. Throughout 2006 they played a solid string of gigs, gaining invaluable real-world experience. But after a year, he knew a change was needed, and moved to Montreal to set up a small studio and record self-produced demo tracks. Armed with a brand-new killer demo, Wes is gaining new fans and reaching as many ears as possible. With a fresh sound and stay-in-your-head songs, Wes Walls is poised to take it to the next level...
