A Blue Circle Series performance

A multiple JUNO Award nominee, including a 2013 nomination for Adult Alternative Album of the Year, Royal Wood has laid the foundation of his career by writing honest music to much critical acclaim. With the release of We Were Born To Glory he continues to win each fan through the intimate connection only a truly great songwriter can make with his audience.

It has been a road of accolades and accomplishments leading up to now. In 2008, Royal was crowned Songwriter of the Year by iTunes and in 2011 his album The Waiting earned a Juno Award nomination for Songwriter of the Year - further establishing him among the elite of Canadian songwriting. He has also landed several major placements in TV shows like Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.

Critics have compared his classic pop style to Randy Newman, Ron Sexsmith, and Rufus Wainwright, and his songwriting to Jeff Buckley and Tom Waits.

"No matter what musical element he is in, Royal Wood imparts his songwriting with the same qualities evocative of his very name: lustre and class." � Imran Khan, Pop Matters

�Breathes refreshing energy into a musical style that�s underplayed in this day and age, and does so without pandering or pretense.� � Steve K, Confront Magazine
