SIX SHOOTER FUTURES REPORT: MANAGEMENT ROSTER SIGNS MAJOR YOUNG TALENT ARIANA GILLIS

Six Shooter Management is thrilled to welcome Ariana Gillis, kinetic young artist with a wild imagination, a fearless approach to songcraft and a potent set of pipes, to the artist roster.

Gillis is an exceptional artist and represents the next wave of unique musical talent in Canada. If Gillis’ idiosyncratic style “fits” anywhere, it’s amidst Six Shooter Management’s eclectic mix of singular talents.

Ariana Gillis has an album in the works and new representation by Julien Paquin of Paquin Artists Agency. Expect to hear much more from her in the coming months.

About Ariana:

“I’m staggered by how good she is. There is not much that impresses me these days but after hearing her available tracks I can honestly say she’s the single most exciting thing I’ve heard in a very long time.” – Bernie Taupin, lyricist for Elton John.

“Ariana is two people in one. She’s a normal nice demure 21-year-old, but when she begins to sing her entire body is taken over by the most powerful force, and the songs become a lot more than just words or music…. her stage presence is the most visually grabbing I’ve ever seen. I was stunned at the intense connection between herself and what she was singing; I thought of the strength of character that embodied Janis Joplin’s performances.” – Steve Wozniak (co-founder Apple Computers).

“Canadian folk singer/songwriter Ariana Gillis has rocketed herself into that stratosphere. ‘Forget Me Not’ soars with provocative imagination and brutal honesty. Her stunning voice warm and robust, conveys stories rippling with animated sincerity. They posses a certain pop intelligence without falling into the pop category. It’s refreshing to hear such a grounded young artist orbit into greatness.” – FOUND Magazine

“Ariana Gillis may be the best new emerging artist anywhere, PERIOD!” – Dave Marsh, best selling author, former music critic of Rolling Stone Magazine & Creem Magazine.
