Wyatt C. Louis is a Métis Cree singer-songwriter from Treaty 6 territory who calls Red Deer, Alberta home. And, man, can they write a tune. I spoke with Wyatt in between their tour dates as he criss crossed North America with Noah Reid.
In our chat, we speak about the importance of taking care of one’s mental health, especially when when one is on the road...criss crossing North America, with or without Noah Reid; how Wyatt uses memories of singing in a choir as a kid to help overcome stage fright as an adult; the importance of their father in his life and their musical career, and so much more.
I enjoyed every second of my chat with Wyatt. He’s open, honest, authentic, vulnerable - you know all the things you’re looking for in an interview guest.
Or, in a friend.
I left this interview thinking, man, I can’t wait to meet my friend Wyatt in real life.

*In the recorded intro of the episode, I mistakenly refer to Wyatt as He. I have amended Wyatt’s pronouns in the written introduction above. My apologies to Wyatt for not getting this right in the recording.*
