Formed in Toronto in 2017, New West is a music collective composed of four talented songwriters and instrumentalists: Kala Wita, Vella, Ben Key, and Noel West. Their collaboration began through studio sessions orchestrated by Noel, ultimately solidifying with the addition of Vella. Renamed from The .wav to New West in 2018, the group distinguishes itself by crafting music collaboratively, drawing on diverse influences like Oasis, Coldplay, The Weeknd, and Daniel Caesar. With a focus on nostalgic themes and heartfelt lyricism, New West offers a fresh sound to Toronto's music scene, promising more exciting music to come.
