Bio:

.. His tag-line is "A singer-songwriter with an edge". That seems very appropriate for Drew Brown (aka "db"). His music sweeps somewhere between coffeehouse intimacy and rock club pomp, his voice easily compared to Peter Gabriel, Sting and Seal. But whether his live show consists of two acoustic guitars or with a full rock combo backing him up, Drew's vibrant songs still ring with passion and soul. He says: "With the songs I write and produce... my intention is to create songs that resonate with people spirits..... My focus is the power of song, music that moves people's hearts and minds. If I can do that.... if I can have an album that are filled with songs that like that... then for me, it is a success!"

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 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.

    Hi Drew!
    Just wanted to say, how great it was to hear your song "Reach Out" played at our church, a few Sunday's ago.  John did a fabulous job leading on that one.  One of my favourites of yours. 
    Keep rocking.  All the best to you & your family.

    Drew - that is so cool to hear, that what started out as an EP, is turning into a 2 cd project.  You have such a GIFT.  Oh, how I would LOVE to learn how to write (my own songs).  I definitely have a gift for writing, i know that already.  But to write a SONG, oh, how wonderful that would be!!  I once had a friend (with a degree in journalism) compliment me on my writing ability, said I was a natural, I had a real ability to draw the reader in, etc.  I can only pray for that gift, the ability to write songs.  I would use that gift for God's glory, of that you can be certain!!  God bless. :)

    Hi Drew,

    I've really missed your music, life can get so hectic and we forget to take solace in music & God. I believe you are a true gift and I'm so glad to hear youre working on another album. I'm positive it will be amazing. I saw you perform in newmarket once and i hope i get the chance to hear you perform again.

    Bless up!
