In 2025, Charlotte Day Wilson has been everywhere: on-stage, at the Grammys and even in a sandwich shop.

The Toronto singer-songwriter — already a star in her hometown — took her talents globally when she was nominated for her first-ever Grammy at this year’s ceremony in the engineering category for her 2024 album Cyan Blue. Wilson has long been an advocate for women in the studio, where they are often underrepresented in technical roles.

At the beginning of the year, she reimagined her catalogue in a wide-ranging Red Bull Symphonic concert with a full orchestra at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall. Calling it “a dream opportunity” in her hometown, Wilson approached the show with a full-career scope, also thinking about the future it will lead into. "In an industry that is ruthlessly obsessed with youth, how do we graduate into a next chapter of life and still maintain our integrity and relevance?” she mused to Billboard Canada. “That's something I think about all the time, and it's something I want to approach really deliberately."

For over a decade, Wilson's soulful voice and immersive soundscapes have charmed many renowned musicians who have become her collaborators, including Kaytranada, Daniel Caesar, Nelly Furtado and BadBadNotGood. Adding to her multifaceted talents, she opened the buzzy Italian sandwich shop, Tutto Panino, alongside three friends this past August. As Wilson carves out her new path in the music industry, it’s clear she isn’t afraid to keep innovating.
