Born on September 29, 1980, in St. Catharines, Ontario, Green began his musical career as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. However, in 2005, he decided to embark on a solo journey and started releasing music under the moniker City and Colour.

Over the years, City and Colour continued to release critically acclaimed albums, including “Bring Me Your Love” (2008), “Little Hell” (2011), and “If I Should Go Before You” (2015).

City and Colour’s live performances are known for their intimate and captivating nature, with Green’s powerful vocals and engaging stage presence captivating audiences. Their songs have garnered widespread acclaim, earning numerous awards and nominations, including multiple Juno Awards in Canada.
Throughout his career, Dallas Green has collaborated with several other artists, including P!nk, who he worked with on the song “You + Me” in 2014.
