New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ JR Consulting) If you're looking for old-time soul, PJ KingPin Wilson is your man.
Born and raised in the city of Barrie, PJ fell in love with the old sounds of Motown as a young boy. "My parents always played
Smokey Robinson and
Marvin Gaye in the house. It's an era I revisit all the time when it comes to my music." Inspired by his own father singing at church, PJ enrolled in vocal lessons and began his quest for music.
In high school, he experimented with different sounds. Working with local rap groups, to school choirs and bands, PJ was determined to have his silky smooth voice heard.
In 2011, a chance meeting with Juno award-winning producer Chris Perry, led to a series of recording sessions that brought to life his first three-track E.P. entitled "
Preface". The year after, PJ would continue to write and record but mostly spent the time developing his songwriting skills. "When I write, it's usually about love and relationships. I'm a very positive spirit and it's important that I illustrate that in my songs and in the way that I perform." Always striving for more, he would drive into Toronto every week to perform in the open-mic circuit in order to fine-tune his sound.
In early 2013, PJ's management reached out to the Grammy-nominated Kuya Productions, and they immediately hit the studio. Famous for their R&B production, PJ knew something special was cooking. His first single "Give Goodbye a Try" produced by Kuya, written by hit-maker Ryan Toby (Usher's Confessions Album and formerly of R&B group City High) and Canadian R&B Artist Dru Grange, delivers a feel-good, throwback soul anthem.
"Ultimately, I want my music to make audiences feel inner happiness. When they hear it, they are inspired to feel something and they know they are not alone in their situation. I want to be relatable as an artist."
Embarking on an infectious musical journey where a revived sound of Motown and R&B will come alive, PJ KingPin Wilson is all smiles as he continues to draw in audiences with his soulful, never-ending, timeless tunes.
