Description
Patrick Watson composes, performs, and records his albums with his long-time bandmates and collaborator and multi-instrumentalists Mishka Stein and Olivier Fairfield. The Canadian artist reached gold and platinum status in multiple countries (including five certified gold albums in Canada), and his shows sell out around the world. Over the course of his career, Patrick has retained the uncanny ability to coexist in mainstream pop-culture spaces and on the avant-garde fringes. Patrickโs songs have been featured in primetime crowd-pleasers like Greyโs Anatomy and This Is Us, as well as in multiple arthouse films from Denis Villeneuve (Polytechnique), Wim Wenders (Perfect Days) ,and Philippe Falardeau (Cโest pas moi, je le jure!) and more. Heโs an artist whoโs as comfortable performing impromptu pop-up shows on the train tracks in a Quebec mining town as he is leading the BBC Orchestra at Londonโs prestigious Barbican. Heโs an in-demand composer with over 15 film scores under his belt. He was awarded the prestigious inaugural Impact Award at the 2024 Canadian Sync Awards. Watsonโs viral single “Je te laisserai des mots” became the first French song to accumulate 1 billion streams on Spotify.
