A product of small town Ontario, Canadian rock musician Brett Kingswell began his musical journey in his early 20's, after embracing an acoustic guitar for the first time, resulting in a very natural path that would shape his life forever.
A soulful singer/songwriter, dynamic performer, and individual, Brett's fierce dedication and love of music shine through in his unique brand of country laced rock. Traveling locally and abroad as a professional musician and actor/model, Brett's many experiences have shaped the landscape for his infectious lyrics, trademark sultry voice and unique musical maturity.
Consumed with passion for music, Brett was signed to NYC record label 5 Points Records in 2003, immediately after penning his first songs with his first project Carnival Divine. The result was a powerful debut album produced by Grammy winning engineers Ron Allaire (Keith Richards, Steely Dan) & Jon Mover (Joe Satriani, Alice Cooper), compelling performances across Canada and the US, and original material showcased on US National television.
Brett then settled into Canada’s west coast, where, with producer Doug Fury (guitarist, Bif Naked) he formulated his new, unique brand of “Northern Rock†music and recorded his album “Jackfish River†-riffy, grungy rock with a quirky twist of country, a dash of the blues, deep-driving hooks, and the unmistakable vocals of Brett. Songs like “Came to Fight†have fans chanting its chorus after one listen, while intense acoustic pieces like Brett's interpretation of Alanis Morissette's “Uninvited†reveal the intimate side of this spirited artist.
Brett has returned to Toronto in early 2008 and been delighting fans with engaging and memorable live performances, including 2008 shows at NXNE, Indie Week, and opening for Edwin of I Mother Earth, to name a few. With a rapidly growing base of devoted fans, and a busy schedule of upcoming performance dates, Brett’s commitment to his art and dedication towards his career are quickly setting him apart as an artist with his own voice in the rock music scene.
