In a world where dime a dozen electro-music bedroom producers fill the expanding blogosphere of the Internet and flavour of month DIY indie rockers, the reigning stars of this post-iTunes music industry disappear sooner than their sophomore releases; it is hard to imagine anyone sticking around for more than 10 years. But Winnipeg-born, Montreal-school’d, Toronto-based Canadia…n Bryce Kushnier has been doing just that, exploring the many faces of his critically-acclaimed vitaminsforyou project for more than a decade.
Garnering world-wide attention through the release of his two award winning albums ‘I’m sorry for ever and for always” (2003) and “The Legend of Bird’s Hill” (2006), as well as highly sought after limited EP (2004), Kushnier’s vitaminsforyou toured the world alongside similarly forward-thinking artists playing shows and making festival appearances throughout North & South America and Europe. With taste-making publications from USA to Germany and from Japan back to Canada such as the Wire, De:bug, Stylus, XLR8R, Grooves, Afterhours, and Spin all singing his praises, he was rewarded in the spring of 2007 with the prestigious Song of the Year Qwartz Pro/Art Electronic Music Award for The Legend of Bird’s Hill’s standout single, The Ukranians.
“In the three years since I’m Sorry For Ever and For Always, vitaminsforyou’s Bryce Kushnier has been doing something right . . . The Legend of Bird’s Hill is nothing short of a quiet miracle [and] might just bridge the gap between Telefon Tel Aviv and Broken Social Scene on your iPod.”

“Vitaminsforyou’s digital reworking of Greg MacPherson’s “Churchill” … is one of the best tunes of last year.”
