Bio

Bringing back the art of songwriting with a blend of vintage pop and soulful rock, Vili weaves musical narratives that touch the heart and spirit. Vili was born in Hamilton, Canada, and set the standard early on. While other guys in the ’90s were head-banging to Nirvana, a teenage Vili spent hours secretly listening to his favorite vintage artists on his parents’ old record player. The die was cast! During his career, five of his songs have earned awards from the UK Songwriting Contest. His debut original album "Indigo Blue" was released through EMI Music Canada. Vili has performed with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, comedian Russell Peters, country legend George Hamilton IV, three-time Grammy winner Walter Ostanek, Glass Tiger frontman Alan Frew, and hip-hop artist Maestro Fresh Wes. He has also performed for the cast of the HBO series The Sopranos and Elvis Presley’s original vocal group, The Jordanaires. One time Vili even met singer, Michael Bublé!
