Hailing from Vancouver, B.C, \u00a0Etienne Siew is an Alternative Folk\/Roots Artist, whose guitar melodies and lyrics paint a picturesque bridge between the beauty in B.C., and the listener. He delivers his songs through acoustic guitar, slide, electric guitar and foot stomping cajon , in a style that mirrors the raging rivers and still lakes that inspire him; powerful and poignant, or gentle, ethereal and reflective. He has performed internationally, and his authenticity as a song-writer 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. With an EP and an album under his belt, Etienne has garnered the attention from CBC radio across Canada and received global praise for his songwriting, from international playlists, and blogs, saying his single “Chasing Dreams” gives you a massive insight into their new album, which in-turn could be one of the best folk\/roots albums of the year.\u201d ( It\u2019s All Indie Magazine – UK). His music is steeped in his love for nature, his reflections on his British\/Trinidadian heritage, and his tumultuous journey from Kinesiologist to professional musician. Etienne\u2019s style blends the artists that inspire him from the 60\u2019s to modern day, such as; BREAD, James Taylor, Chris Stapleton and City and Colour.
