progressive / alternative / rock

From his primary years of bashing on pots and pans along to The Beatles, his high school years of learning how to play Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast" on viola, his study of Musical Composition at Toronto's York University, through to his mid 20's as a guitar player in original Art Rock bands, Wilton has always had music inside of him.

In his late 20's. Wilton had had enough of the guitar and band democracy and was searching for another musical outlet.  The Live Kate Bush video "Live at Hammersmith" provided the inspiration and he took up vocal lessons with the intent of starting his own solo project with himself on Vocals and Keyboards.  After developing his vocal style, he was able to gather members of previous bands to back him up on drums, bass and guitar. The project Wilton Said… was born.

With influences such as Marillion, Queen, A Perfect Circle, David Bowie and Genesis, one could group the music of Wilton Said,,, into the Art Rock category.  But that's still pretty vague, as he's open to a variety of styles of music from Orchestral, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, Prog, Goth, Alternative and Heavy Metal, all of which have had an influence on his writing and singing.
