Kenton Hall

Kenton Hall is a multifaceted Canadian artist, known for his talents as a writer, actor, director, and musician. He was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, and first gained attention as the lead vocalist of the UK band ist. The band released three celebrated albums—Freudian Corduroy, King Martha, and Toothpick Bridge—between 2000 and 2010, alongside various singles and EPs. Hall's songwriting prowess earned him a nomination as one of MOJO Magazine's "Songwriters of Substance."

Before the band disbanded in 2010, Hall had already begun to transition back to his original passion for acting and filmmaking, which he had first explored with a small role in the 1994 adaptation of Little Women. This shift led to a fruitful acting career, featuring notable performances in productions such as Les Miserables, The Amityville Asylum, Muppets Most Wanted, and The Edge of the Lawn. He has also made a mark in short films, writing and directing works like Twinkle, Twinkle, John Lennon's Turd and Bus Stop, Wet Day.

In 2014, Hall took on significant roles as the lead in Clare Speller's Father to Fall—where he was also a co-producer and writer—and in Rob Ineson and Carl Haynes' Cold Turkey. By the end of 2014, he was actively working on two feature films: A Dozen Summers, aimed at a young audience, and Between New York and Wednesday, an innovative romantic comedy.
