Wisely is a Los Angeles based singer songwriter by way of Minneapolis. For his latest breakthrough album “Wisely”, he teamed up with co-producer Petur Smith (The Januaries, Jason Falkner), and they would call upon contributions from such notable musicians as Rusty Anderson (Paul McCartney), Joshua Grange (Dwight Yoakam), composer Rick Boston, Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm (The Soundtrack Of Our Lives) and Ludwig Boss (Boss, Ray Wonder) as the project was recorded in the legendary singer songwriter refuge Laurel Canyon (Los Angeles) as well as in Gothenburg and Malmo (Sweden). The new album was self titled “Wisely” because, as the artist puts it, "I feel like this is the first record I should have ever made. It defines what I hear in my head when I write." A sound that journalists and fans have come to describe as ‘evocative pop’.

Jenna Fisher (The Office’s Pam Beesley) appears in the first video from the album “Through Any Window”. She has gratefully blogged extensively that Wisely is one of her favorite artists (her MySpace blog received an A ranking from Entertainment Weekly).
