Charlotte Day Wilson

The deftly woven acoustic and electronic textures of Charlotte Day Wilson’s stirring R&B give her songs a handcrafted quality. Born in 1993 in Toronto, ON, Wilson studied piano as a child and taught herself the basics of production as a teen before leaving home to study music in Halifax, NS, in the early 2010s. After returning home and collaborating with artists like Daniel Caesar and ‎BADBADNOTGOOD, she released her second EP, CDW, in 2016. CDW was heralded by the romantic but clear-eyed “Work,” an earthy, gospel-tinged number that showcases Wilson’s signature smoky voice. She’d continue with that vibe on her debut LP, 2021’s ALPHA, but opted for more complex and layered arrangements while retaining a natural feel on songs like “If I Could.” She embraced imperfection and raw feelings for 2024’s Cyan Blue, foregrounding soul and adding new emotional layers to her already moving music.
