About Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright, born in 1973 to folk icons Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter renowned for his lush, theatrical pop that weaves together elements of Tin Pan Alley, cabaret, and opera. Raised in Montreal after his parents’ divorce, he began piano lessons at six and was performing with his family by age thirteen. His early talents earned him a Juno nomination for Most Promising Young Artist and a Genie nod for his song "I'm A-Runnin’."

Influenced by opera and legends such as Edith Piaf and Judy Garland, Wainwright briefly studied at McGill University before shifting from classical music to the vibrant Montreal club scene. Demo recordings produced by Pierre Marchand captured industry attention and led to a DreamWorks Records deal. His self-titled debut (1998) received critical acclaim, followed by the acclaimed "Poses" (2001) and the expansive double albums "Want One" (2003) and "Want Two" (2004).

Wainwright’s subsequent works include "Release the Stars" (2007) and the live tribute "Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall," recreating Garland’s iconic 1961 concert. His 2010 album, "All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu," featured intimate, piano-driven songs inspired by Shakespeare. In 2012, he returned to elaborate pop collaborating with Mark Ronson on "Out of the Game." Wainwright’s artistry extends to opera with "Prima Donna" (2015), released on Deutsche Grammophon. In 2016, he honored Shakespeare’s legacy through the collaborative album "Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets," featuring artists like Florence Welch and Helena Bonham Carter. Blending classical sophistication with pop sensibility, Rufus Wainwright continues to captivate global audiences with his unique musical vision.
