About
The artist
Patrick Watson is an active Montreal singer-songwriter, film composer, pianist, producer, and the namesake of his band project. The exact Spotify artist 7bPs6jf983f0bjRAt1yxDM matches the current artist-controlled site and Bandcamp catalog, Secret City Records catalog, MusicBrainz artist 592da4c4-9618-4a1a-a944-e60c05c39037, and Wikidata item Q115130313. The current Bandcamp profile identifies Montreal, Quebec and presents the March 27, 2026 single we fly for the ones we love, the 2025 album Uh Oh, and current tour dates. Secret City Records identifies Watson as a singer-songwriter, film composer, pianist, producer, and Montreal artist, and documents the band configuration and detailed writing, performance, and production credits. His provider-scoped Spotify catalog contains 29 principal album and single containers in Canada, classified as eight albums and 21 singles from 2003 through March 27, 2026. Every container was reviewed against the exact artist identity. Joint releases were retained only where Watson is a principal release artist. Representative releases include we fly for the ones we love, Uh Oh, Better in the Shade, Wave, Je te laisserai des mots, Close to Paradise, and Just Another Ordinary Day. Uh Oh features a large collaborative cast including Charlotte Cardin, Martha Wainwright, Klô Pelgag, Anachnid, La Force, MARO, Solann, and November Ultra, while current band collaborators include Mishka Stein and Olivier Fairfield. The Polaris Music Prize records Close to Paradise as its 2007 winner. Current official presenter material documents Je te laisserai des mots as the first Francophone track to pass one billion Spotify streams. Secret City remains the current label, and the artist-controlled Bandcamp page provides a safe public contact route without requiring MusicList to reproduce direct details. Spotify media is rendered live with provider attribution and a monogram fallback. The exact English and French payload was reviewed for collision-free identity, current Montreal geography, the relationship between the individual and band project, active status, catalog arithmetic, provider classifications, bilingual repertoire, credits, achievements, current relationships, safe contact routing, media, and meaning parity.
