Widely recognized as one of the most compelling vocalists and songwriters in her genre, Leslie Feist is a 4-time Grammy nominee and an 11-time Juno Award-winning solo artist and founding member of Broken Social Scene.

Following the breakout success of her sophomore album Let It Die (named Alternative Album of the Year at the 2004 Juno Awards), the Nova Scotia-born musician went on to achieve international acclaim with 2007’s The Reminder: a multi platinum-certified release that landed on best-of-the-year lists from outlets like Pitchfork, NPR, Spin, and Rolling Stone, in addition to winning Feist the 2007 Shortlist Music Prize.

The Reminder delivered one of the most indelible songs of the 2000s with “1234,” a Billboard Hot 100-charting single that paved the way for Feist’s appearance on such iconic shows as “Saturday Night Live” and “Sesame Street.”

Arriving in 2011, her fourth full-length Metals was hailed as the best album of the year by New York Times chief popular music critic Jon Pareles, and later won the 2012 Polaris Music Prize. In 2017 Feist released her most recent album Pleasure, a critically lauded work accompanied by a storytelling podcast series entitled “Pleasure Studies” - hailed Best Podcast of 2019 by Apple.
