Kenton Hall is a Canadian writer, actor, director and musician. Born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Hall initially came to prominence as the frontman of the UK Band ist, releasing three critically-acclaimed albums (Freudian Corduroy, King Martha and Toothpick Bridge), as well as a number of standalone singles and EPs between 2000-2010, garnering a nomination as one of MOJO Magazine's "Songwriters of Substance" in the process.

Prior to the band's break-up in 2010, however, he had already initiated a return to his initial career as an actor and film-maker which had begun with a brief appearance in 1994's Little Women, before being interrupted by his musical pursuits.
