JUTSUN

Ian Jutsun is one of those rare individuals who has lead an active life: fully engaged, alert, slightly reckless and unsettled. Open to grief and to joy, Ian can tell you with clarity and warmth about what has happened to him in his life. I don’t know if you could ever know the range of his personality but for the degree to which he breathes excitement and depth into his life stories and his songs. “The magic of music lies in the emotional affect that draws us in as we listen,” says the one time recipient of a Canadian FACTOR Songwriting music award. Through a song not only do you feel you know and identify with the composer but you also recognize more of yourself. This is the passion and message of Ian’s first collaboration with Michael Da Vinci. Together they listened, combined and composed a collection of songs for Ian’s debut Solo CD “JUTSUN” that rejoices in the gift of living. Although the music changed and evolved during the writing process, the great joys of each song remained: insight, escape, knowledge and inspiration.
