CJ Wiley’s distinct voice carries their project with the wit, candour, and excitement of an artist with a striking perspective and a heart that demands to be heard. They are aflame in a stirring spectrum of soulful twang and the electric grumblings of grungy guitars, sometimes in the space of a single song.
On-site at Wavelength Summer Thing 2026, Wavelength’s James Peacock spoke to CJ about their upcoming EP Just Can’t Quit, working with Boy Golden, and hosting the Toronto based music series Big Gay Night.
