Zaynab Wilson draws from her Canadian-Trinidadian cultural and musical diversity to cultivate a style self-described as soul-folk. The music comes out as a bridging of rhythm, heart stories and soul. Since opening up and releasing as a singer-songwriter in 2018, Zaynab has performed solo across Canada, the USA and now Australia. Born into a steelpan-playing family band based in Montréal, Zaynab had exposure to influential music and performance experiences including the Montréal International Jazz Festival, Just For Laughs, and international steelpan competitions. This lead to her pursuing a Bachelor of Music from Humber College and over a decade of performing and touring as a drummer, steelpanist and percussionist with artists in Canada, Trinidad, Mexico, Australia, UK and Europe.
