Bobby Bazini

Bobby Bazini is a Canadian singer/songwriter whose full-length album debut, Better in Time, was a Top Ten hit upon its release in 2010. Born in Mont-Laurier, Quebec, Canada, he grew up in a rural setting in a family with a love for country music. Influenced by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan as well as Otis Redding and Ray Charles, he is often compared to Paolo Nutini. Bazini made his commercial recording debut in 2009 with the single “I Wonder,” which became a hit on both French- and English-language radio stations in Quebec. A five-track EP featuring “I Wonder” and the follow-up single, “One Thing or Two,” was released digitally in November 2009. Several months later Bazini made his full-length album debut with Better in Time (2010) on Mungo Park Records. Comprised entirely of material written by the 20-year-old wunderkind, Better in Time was a Top Ten hit on the Canadian albums chart. It was subsequently released by Warner Music in Europe, where it charted in France and Switzerland. ~ Jason Birchmeier
