“I want to help artists bring their ideas to life with my drumming”
Drummer Emree Wilson, born in Ottawa now based in Toronto, has been heavily influenced by his Caribbean and South American roots which are delicately simmered into his unique musical flavour.
Emree is a graduate of Carleton University’s music program, earning an honours degree. While studying he was a member of several ensembles: Contemporary, Fusion, Jazz and West African Rhythm.
Emree is a versatile and skilled drummer with a personal fondness and passion for Funk, R&B, Soul, Jazz and Hip-Hop. He has performed at the iconic El Mocambo, jammed at The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar, and Grossman's Tavern. In Ottawa, Emree has performed at: Ritual Night Club, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Mercury Lounge, Babylon, The Avant- Garde Bar, and The Rainbow Bistro.
As well as working on two original projects, Emree is currently honing his jazz repertoire by participating in jazz ensemble workshops facilitated by Toronto saxophonist and bandleader David Rubel.
"Emree is a fantastic, reliable drummer who is clearly dedicated to constant improvement and making those around him better. It is an absolute pleasure to play with and spend time with Emree. He has a natural swing feel and has thoroughly checked out the jazz tradition"
