Kenton Hall is a multifaceted Canadian creative, boasting a remarkable career trajectory that spans various artistic disciplines. Born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Hall initially gained recognition as the lead vocalist of the UK-based band ist, releasing three critically acclaimed albums, namely Freudian Corduroy, King Martha, and Toothpick Bridge, along with several standalone singles and EPs between 2000 and 2010. This impressive musical output earned him a nomination as one of MOJO Magazine's "Songwriters of Substance".
Prior to the band's disbandment in 2010, Hall had already begun to rekindle his initial passion for acting and filmmaking, which had commenced with a brief appearance in the 1994 film Little Women. This early foray into the world of acting was subsequently interrupted by his musical pursuits.
Since his return to acting, Hall has amassed an impressive list of credits, featuring roles in notable productions such as Les Miserables, The Amityville Asylum, Muppets Most Wanted, The Edge of the Lawn, and acclaimed shorts like Twinkle, Twinkle, John Lennon's Turd, and Bus Stop, Wet Day, which he also wrote and directed.
In 2014, Hall will appear as the lead in both Clare Speller's Father to Fall, a film he co-wrote and co-produced, and Rob Ineson and Carl Haynes' Cold Turkey, among other projects. As of late 2014, Hall is involved in the production of two feature films: A Dozen Summers, a film designed for and about children, and Between New York and Wednesday, an unconventional romantic comedy.
