Wint, a gifted 22 year old Toronto born vocalist/arranger/songwriter/ musician is gearing up for her global introduction through her debut album simply titled, Quisha.  Translated, it’s meaning of ‘most beloved’ signifies the importance of music in Wint’s life.

Ask Wint who her influences are, and why, meets with the following response, “. . .vocally it would have to be Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross and Ella Fitzgerald for her scatting. I love Kelly Price’s strong gospel tone and I listen to Mariah Carey’s earlier work for songwriting skills. I so respect Deborah Cox’s accomplishments as a fellow Canadian. As far as musicians go, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, and George Benson, and I can’t forget Tina Turner.  Her stage energy and perseverance in spite of obstacles is inspiring to me.”

A graduate of Humber College Vocal Music Program, Wint began enchanting audiences from her first performance at age eleven.  An impromptu vocal display for her church congregation lead to Wint’s invitation to perform for the Governor of Jamaica in 1992, thus setting the stage for this gifted artist’s path.  From there, Wint set upon rounding out her talent.  An accomplished flutist, and self taught confident keyboardist, Wint is not satisfied to stop there.  Currently learning the drums, her next instrument conquest is the bass guitar.  “I want to slam on the bass like Patrice Rushen.  There’s something so appealing about a female bass player.  There’s far too few of them.”

Wint’s emergence on the Toronto music scene quickly led to her demand as both session and back up vocalist for many notable Canadian recording artists such as Juno Award winning R&B artist Carlos Morgan, Canada’s platinum selling Hip Hop artist Maestro, Attic Music’s urban/pop gal Jazmin, Orin Issacs, and Jane Siberry to name a few.  Her performance on “Love Is” written and produced by Eric Mercury, Musical Director for the German musical production Just One World met with enthusiastic reviews.  With two consecutive terms as vocal champion for eastern Canada it’s evident that Wint is rapidly gaining recognition at home as well as abroad. Preferring to be known as an R&B/Soul artist, Wint is equally as respected for her jazz styling.  Quite the package for so young an entertainer.

Well rounded, polished, a dynamic performer, and the kind of vocalist whose unique texture and emotional delivery raises goose bumps, leaves little question this gal is headed for the top of the charts.  Wint certainly has left a memorable mark on her audiences from Canada to Asia thus far.  Quisha will leave no doubt that this artist is one unique gem. The buzz certainly is building, and with it is the certainty that Quisha quickly will become “most beloved” by many the world over.

Simply the best!
