Details of Feist and the Ticket Luck value
Feist
Leslie Feist - a Canadian singer-songwriter - was born on February 13, 1976. She performs as a solo artist under the name Feist and as a member of Broken Social Scene.
Early life
Feist belonged to parents who were both artists themselves. Her father Harold Feist was an abstract-expressionist painter and instructor at the Alberta College of Art and Mount Allison University and her mother was a student of ceramics. Their first child, Ben, is now a Software Engineer in Toronto.
The family moved to the Maritimes, and Leslie Feist was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia. Soon after, her parents got divorced, and Leslie, Ben and their mother moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, where they lived with her grandparents, and later to Calgary, Alberta. She desired to become a writer one day, but instead spent most of her early life singing in choirs.
Career
When Feist turned 15, she took her career-start in music. She formed a Calgary punk band called Placebo ( not the British band Placebo) and was the lead vocalist. She and her band-members won a local Battle of the Bands competition and were awarded the opening slot at the festival Infest 1993, featuring the Ramones. There, she met Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew (presently her boyfriend) with whom she formed Broken Social Sceneafter a decade. In 1995, Feist was strained to take time off from the music scene to recover from vocal damage. She shifted from Calgary to Toronto in 1996 and took up guitar; by 1998, she was the guitarist for By Divine Right. She toured throughout 1998, 1999 and 2000 with By Divine Right as rhythm guitarist. She also released her debut solo album, Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down), the same year, which was produced by Dan Kurtz who later formed Dragonette. At this time she played a 70's JK Ledo beige guitar she called "Smoker's Tooth" due to its streaked pattern, but it unfortunately, got stolen at a concert in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2000. Feist at present plays a 1965 red Guild Starfire guitar.
In 1999, Feist moved in with a friend of a friend, Merrill Nisker, who subsequently began to perform as electro-punk musician Peaches, with Feist working the back of the stage at Peaches' shows, using a sock puppet and calling herself "Bitch Lap Lap." Feist appeared as a guest vocalist on The Teaches of Peaches. She also met musician Gonzales in this time, which consequently resulted in a long-standing partnership formed. In the summer of 2001 she herself produced 7 songs at home which she titled "The Red Demos" though have never been released commercially. She took more than two years touring throughout Europe with Gonzales. During the same year, she and a group of old friends formed Toronto indie rock supergroup Broken Social Scene and afterwards recorded You Forgot It in People. While on tour in Europe with Gonzales, they began recording new versions of her home recorded Red Demos, which would later become her major label debut Let It Die. Let it Die featured both original compositions and covers, and Feist has been noted both as a lyricist and as a pioneering forward planner of other artists' songs. After the recording of Let It Die, Feist moved to Paris. While in Europe, she teamed up with Norwegian duo Kings of Convenience as co-writer and guest vocalist on their album Riot on an Empty Street as well as co-writing and singing as a duet The Simple Story with Jane Birkin on her album Rendezvous. Feist carried on touring all the way through 2004, 2005 and 2006 in North America, Europe, Asia and Austalia supporting Let It Die. She won 2 Canadian Juno Awards for 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Alternative Rock Album' in 2004. Sales of Let it Die totalled 500,000 internationally and she was awarded a Platinum record in Canada as well as a Gold album in France.
Principally, Feist works with video director Patrick Daughters, who directed the videos for "Mushaboom", "1 2 3 4" and "My Moon, My Man," the latter two were choreographed by the highly praised dancer Noemi LaFrance.
Feist dwelled in Paris, France from July 2003 until early 2007, and then shifted back to Toronto.
Feist's latest album, The Reminder was released on On July 10, 2007 and was discovered to be on the shortlist for the 2007 Polaris Music Prize. That same year, Feist placed #9 on Spinner.com's Women Who Rock Right Now.
