Tristan Thompson (Canadian Singer)

Tristan Thompson, a 16 year old Victoria, BC, native, convinced his family at a very young age that he was born to be a performer. Music and dance consumed his life as if nothing else mattered. Drawn to acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Michael Jackson, he sang his lungs out to their tunes as a toddler or could be found playing drums on anything he could find. He took this fascination even to the point of becoming a Michael Jackson impersonator busking in downtown Victoria where the local police would have to move his spectating crowd off the street.

After a live performance at a family friendʼs wedding and a few performances at various local charity events such as “The Autism Walk” and the “Lac-Megantic” fundraiser, Tristan was featured on the local “Go Island” TV show where he was interviewed by James Green.

Soon after, Tristan released a YouTube video for his Swedish House Mafia cover “Donʼt You Worry Child” and thousands of views started pouring in. The video caught the attention of Chatter Records and a productive relationship began.

Chatter Records recently released Tristanʼs debut album “Here For You” (Now available worldwide on iTunes and Spotify). His first single “Tidal Wave” took radio by storm. Over 100 radio stations played the Single in Canada in addition to international airplay in New Zealand, Scotland and the Philippines. Tristan's follow up single, "Burn Again," has managed to garner even more success. "Burn Again" has been added to well over 150 Canadian radio stations which helped propel the song inside the Canadian national Pop Adult / Hot AC Top 30 Mediabase and AC charts. Currently, "Burn Again" is also charting inside the USA Mediabase Top 100 CHR chart. The video has also been added to the USA MTV video channel...and is quickly approaching 1,000,000 views on Youtube.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RDZDYXIpZo

Last summer was a busy one for Tristan. His performances included charitable event “Animals for Life Society”, 8 shows at “The Victoria International Buskers Festival”, charitable event “Walk for the Children” at the Toronto Zoo, “The Brentwood Bay Festival”, “The Saanich Fair” and 107.3 Kool FMʼs “kool Days of Summer” private wrap party. Tristan also appeared on Torontoʼs “Breakfast Television” on CityTV as well as Corus Entertainmentʼs “The Zone” on YTV. Despite his active performance schedule, Tristan still managed to find time to film music videos and record a Holiday single. Last November, he was named Bell Media’s “Future Star”. Tristan is also currently on tour with TeenFest Canada in British Columbia.

Itʼs not hard to imagine that Tristanʼs future in music will be successful considering his natural talent and unwavering commitment to honing his craft. Tristan's follow-up single to "Here For You," will no doubt continue with Tristan's success on the international music scene.
