Биография

As a singer and songwriter, David Vertesi is one of Canada’s best-kept secrets, though it’s not due to any lack of success. Over the last 15 years, through a variety of projects, he has made a name for himself as a multi-faceted contributor to the country’s music and art scenes, though much of that has come at the expense of promoting his solo music. This fall with the release of his third record, Life Ghouls, Vertesi has a chance to flip the script, stepping out from the upbeat pop sensibilities of his long time band, Hey Ocean! to explore a moodier palette with one of his strongest collections of songs to date. David's deep baritone voice, witty and emotionally potent songwriting, and intimate production style make his music feel special from first listen. It’s easy to understand comparisons to names like The National, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, and David Bazan of Pedro The Lion. Listen to Waste now, the first song from his new album.
