"I guess I don't really fit into that world," Wilkins tells Weekend All Things Considered host Guy Raz. "It's always quite challenging, when we're doing a show, to find someone to play with. I didn't really mean to completely stand out or be an oddity. I was just writing songs that were true to what I wanted to do and the music I like to listen to."
Wilkins says he listens to Burt Bacharach, Brian Wilson and Milton Nascimento, among others.
"I continue to go back to recordings made in the late 1960s and '70s for the warmth," Wilkins says. "There's a romance in that music that doesn't seem to die."
Unlike many singer-songwriters, Wilkins studied jazz and classical music at McGill College.
