Daniel Lew
12 years ago, Daniel Lew woke from a nightmare to find that he had gone deaf in one ear. It was a life changing moment that became a silver lining and supercharged his music journey. Everyday he strives to sing and strum as if it is the last time. Daniel writes genre-bending songs that shine with honesty, merging his soulful voice with introspective lyricism, catchy guitar riffs and groovy rhythms. “Folk music writ large with electrifying vocals” (Pancouver Magazine). Recently, he toured his 4th album “Destiny” in Canada and Taiwan, and landed CBC airplay for “Let The Angels Shine” and “Man In The Captain’s Seat”. He has also begun infusing Chinese languages into his music to reclaim and share his heritage. Daniel hopes his music will help listeners sink deeper into the present and fuel them with inspiration.
12 年前，Daniel Lew 從一場惡夢中驚醒，發現自己一隻耳朵失聰。這個改變人生的時刻反而成了轉機，為他的音樂旅程注入強大動能。他每天都力求像是最後一次那樣歌唱與彈奏。Daniel 的創作跨越曲風、以真誠發光，將充滿靈魂感的嗓音與內省的詞作、朗朗上口的吉他段落與充滿律動的節拍融合在一起；Pancouver Magazine 評曰：「以電力十足的嗓音鋪陳的宏闊民謠。」近年他帶著第四張專輯《Destiny》在加拿大與台灣巡演，並讓〈Let The Angels Shine〉與〈Man In The Captain’s Seat〉登上 CBC 電台播放。他也開始把中文語言元素融入音樂，重新連結並分享自己的文化根源。Daniel 期盼他的音樂能讓聽者更深地沉浸於當下，並為他們注入靈感。
