13 years ago, Daniel Lew woke from a nightmare to find that he had lost hearing in one ear. This shocking experience re-directed his life and supercharged his love for music. Now, he writes introspective songs that are anchored by folk, and also surf between rock, soul, pop, and hip hop. His melodies shine with honesty, merging soulful vocals with catchy guitar riffs, and groovy rhythms. He aims to sing every song as if it’s the last, and hopes his vibes help make the world a better place. His heartfelt performances have caught the attention of Ed Sheeran, Jacob Collier, and Dan Mangan. He has released 4 albums, received CBC radio play, showcased nationally and internationally, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Currently, Daniel is delving back into writing and recording in Australia with a new album in the works for 2027.
