Ronald Eldon Sexsmith (born 8 January 1964) is a Canadian singer-songwriter from St. Catharines, Ontario, currently based in Toronto. He started his own band when he was fourteen years old, and released the first recordings of his own material seven years later, in 1985.
Some of the same artists who inspired Sexsmith Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, and John Hiatt are now people whose praise he has won.
