STREAM/SHARE HERE
Vancouver folk-roots musician Etienne Siew shares his new single 'Chasing Dreams' out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.
'Chasing Dreams' is the lead single and title track from Etienne's debut album set for release on June 20th. The driving, energetic country-influenced track is full of inspiration about trying to live a life doing what you love.
"'Chasing Dreams' was written as a reminder for listeners that life is too short not to go after the things you love and to work towards your passions that truly light you up inside," says Etienne. "The lyrics were pieced together on early morning drives to various jobs, as I dreamed of working for myself and being an independent artist. The instrumentation and slide guitar represent the energy of forging ahead to get to the places you want to go!"
Etienne's guitar melodies and lyrics paint a picturesque bridge between the beauty in nature and the listener. His deeply reflective narratives speak about the resilience and perseverance he has found while pursuing his dreams as a singer-songwriter. He leans into his ancestry as an artist of Caribbean and British Heritage, to relay stories of connection and empathy that people from all walks of life can relate to. He has performed internationally, and his authenticity as a songwriter has been recognized numerous times, including the distinction of the Country/Roots Artist of the Year and Top Fan Vote at the 2021 Fraser Valley Music Awards.
His winding path from kinesiologist/coach to singer-songwriter is reflected in his upcoming debut album Chasing Dreams. In this project, Etienne aims to share his reflections as an independent artist and explores the themes of healing, empathy, resilience and social and environmental justice, which were amplified during the wake of the pandemic. Whether he is performing in a theater, or near a campfire, his blend of warm guitar melodies and powerful vocals will speak to your heart and make you feel as though you are walking beside him in his stories.
'Chasing Dreams' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit etiennesiew.com.
