Feist

Leslie Feist is a Canadian singer-songwriter who tours both independently (under the name Feist) and as part of the Canadian indie band Broken Social Scene.


Feist was born in 1976 in Nova Scotia. She was raised in an artistic family and founded her first band (a punk group) at the age of 15. She moved to Paris in 2004 and collaborated with a number of European bands, which helped her to acquire an international following. Although she had been fairly successful in the music industry since the 1990s, she skyrocketed to fame after her song "1234" was used in an iPod commercial.

Her musical style is hard to pinpoint - it has been described as indie rock, folk, and even "baroque pop" (whatever that means). Regardless of what you choose to call it, Feist's music is lovely, and I've heard that her live performances are amazing. You can listen to a couple of her more famous songs below:
