Rufus McGarrigle Wainwright is an American-Canadian singer, songwriter, and composer. He has recorded seven albums of original music and numerous tracks on compilations and film soundtracks. He has also written a classical opera and set Shakespeare sonnets to music for a theater piece by Robert Wilson.
Wainwright is the son of musicians Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, and the older brother of singer Martha Wainwright.
In 1996, Wainwright moved to New York City , performing regularly at Club Fez. He relocated to Los Angeles that year and began his first studio album, 1998’s “Rufus Wainwright”. Lenny Waronker paired Wainwright with producer Jon Brion, and the two spent most of 1996 and 1997 making the record. Wainwright recorded 56 songs in total, on 62 rolls of tape. The sessions cost $700,000.
Wainwright’s self-titled debut received critical acclaim; Rolling Stone recognized it as one of the best albums of the year, and named the singer “Best New Artist” of the year.
Best known for his original songs and acclaimed covers, Wainwright has recorded hits such as: “Dinner At Eight”, “The One You Love”, “California”, “Go Or Go Ahead”, “Cigarettes And Chocolate Milk”, “Going To A Town”, “Natasha”, “The Art Teacher”, “Hallelujah”, “Beauty Mark”, and “Chelsea Hotel No. 2”.
