For a long time "db" has been the hired gun.. playing and supporting many Canadian acts as a guitarist, bassist, vocalist, musical director or record producer. But with his EP "Cardiac" and the full length album "From a Whisper to a Roar" (released on indie label Avante Records) Drew is finally allowing his own voice to be heard.
"I was always a bit shy about my songs... always second guessing myself. But the time came to just send it out and see what happens. I hope people are able to turn these songs about my experiences in life and love, and make it into their own anthems... let it apply to their own stories and dreams."
His first two singles "Collide" (a rough and tumble rocker) and "Reach Out" (a soaring brit-pop anthem currently on CHR radio) have both reached 2 on the CHR CanCon charts. And Drew was recently honoured with 2 Shai Awards nominations for Best Male Vocalist and New Artist of the Year.
His intense blend of singer/songwriter pop, brit-rock, earnest folk and ambient electronica creates an aural landscape that easily evokes the imagination. And with strong songwriting, memorable vocals, emotive arrangements and spiritually minded lyrics... Drew Brown is one new artist everyone should keep their eyes on.
Drew was one of the original members of TEHILLAH TORONTO , as a worship leader and guitarist. And played on their debut CD "Born of the Spirit". He has toured acorss Canada with REUBEN MORGAN (from Hillsongs) and STARFIELD and has toured with fellow Avante artist and Juno award winner AMANDA FALK , Tooth and Nail artist MANAFEST , Capstone, and Noel Richards among others.
He has also shared the stage with acts such as MatchboxTwenty, Wide Mouth Mason, The Tea Party and many more.
