Daniel Lew is a Chinese-Canadian folk-pop artist with a mission to uplift the world. 10 years ago, he went deaf in his left ear and developed tinnitus. This trauma catalyzed his music journey. His songs have been called a self-help book due to their honest and introspective nature. He has released 3 albums, amassed over 300 performances, and has been featured by Jade Music Festival, TAIWANfest, Pancouver Magazine, and Daily Hive Vancouver. Recently, Daniel received praise from both Jacob Collier and Ed Sheeran while he was busking. Ed invited him backstage to his show where he had the opportunity to play a song and share insights about their music journeys.
In June 2023, he released his summer anthem “Alive (The Ocean Song)”. Produced by Braeden “Pockets” Rangno (Kimmortal), and featuring synth bass from Grammy Award winning producer/artist Pomo (Jon Batiste, Anderson .Paak, Mac Miller). A live performance was featured by Daily Hive Vancouver and amassed 182,000 views, and landed in rotation at UK based radio station “The Sound Lab”.
Recently, Daniel received funding from Creative BC’s Career Development program, and is recording a new album that is on pace to be released May 2024. He is supporting the release of the album with a Canadian tour.
He has a vision of increasing the representation of under-represented artists in the music industry, and is leading a team made primarily of Asian-Canadians.
Daniel is embracing the momentum of his journey and is showing no signs of slowing down.
