Drew Parker's Bio

Imagine mixing John Mayer's pop, Bob Dylan's folk, and the vocal clarity of Josh Groban. What you'd have is the refreshing new sound of Barrie singer/songwriter Drew Parker.

Drew’s debut acoustic pop/rock album, “On My Way Home,” reached the 2009 Grammy Award’s first round, alongside artists such as Neil Diamond and Jakob Dylan. Critics have called it “Refreshing, positive, and delightful,” (Chris Carrigan, 97.7 The Beach) and a “Masterful experience.” (The Epoch Times

Before starting to promote his new album, Drew first helped a cause close to his heart by participating in a North-American concert tour in support of human rights in China. The tour featured Drew’s single “Mother China,” which he performed with drummer Sterling Campbell from the B-52s. The song tells the story of the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong, a peaceful exercise practice emphasizing truth, compassion, and tolerance. Drew is also donating all proceeds from the song to efforts to stop the persecution.

This summer Drew performed in Kempenfest and Barrie’s New Music Festival. His single “Christine” won the award for “Best Folk” at Barrie’s New Music Awards, and has played on Rock 95, 95.1 The Peak FM, LA’s 104 FM, and was performed live on A-Channel’s “A Morning” show.

Though it took an exhausting two years to complete “On My Way Home,” what kept Drew and his team going was the wish to give fans a stellar musical experience with a positive vibe. Expect to see Drew Parker performing live at various Barrie venues near you, and stay tuned for the up-and-coming “Christine” music video!

把這個共產邪靈擊出去,直至滅盡於天外與宇宙的一切

對於現今中國共產黨,以開放作為藉口,縱容中國人到國外犯罪,共產黨灌輸其人民的一貫策略是先以摧毀道德觀念(民革演變最烈),摧毀人倫為首,然後扇動仇恨,鬥罵, 搞分裂,搞內控,籍以達到它們控制人類的目地。
邪黨邪靈以“破害全人類為宣言”這也是它們改變人類的基楚及理由。

表內不一的言行,作奸犯科的變態行為,完完全全是為了達到摧毀人類的善良為目地的,其所觸及的地方遠遠超出了一般國外人所能接受的, 所能瞭解的,破害力之巨,影響之廣,已是刻不容緩。

如何處理,如何改變,除了正面除惡之外,還須破開媒體的封鎖,媒體應保持良好的關係,把破害真象,其招數,一一講清,否則,它們會不顧一切的持續犯罪....。

它們照文革那一套搬到外邊來:一貫手法是先跟你非常好(文革時是每戶逼著的,不給你一點好),然後想方切法的弄到你(及整家人),用的都是非常強硬的鐵腕 ‘手段,要你沒法防避,再打擊你的自信,肉體,挾持你,搞性亂(文革時周恩來指令是每戶不放,上下老少搞亂倫[不要以為是老毛,是周恩來]),但又搞得你或家人不覺得是被腰挾,因為你已經被它洗腦了,逼著你(家人)互相對罵,好象全都是你的錯,把你孤立,再嚴重的摧毀你,叫你不去工作,斷了你生活來源,手段多是非常下流,要你叫不出聲的,要你覺的不光彩的,要你覺得沒有親人,沒有朋友或其他人能照應,(或被謠言傷害後,互相不信任),表面上叫他人不發覺你被破害,(因為洗腦,要你覺得你不可以再信其他人,不可給人發現你的醜,否則破害加劇)強逼你直至習慣他的一套,搞得你(及家人)糊途了,被逼著互相對罵,習慣了,罵邪了,出去用同樣手法逼著他人,並成為行凶者一伙,然後逼著你放棄你自己及家人及所有一切,做一個切底的流氓。

一次的經歷(意外),其嚴重性及內在的破害,足以摧毀受害人的終生。

如何幫?我們都不能坐視不理,互相幫助,不能歧視受害人(因為不是他的錯),不斷給予信心與支持,並大家聯合起來,猛擊舉報那些不法行為,大家同心合力....把這個共產邪靈擊出去,直至滅盡於天外與宇宙的一切

- 這是法的諾言

Hey man,

You know we are all rooting for ya. Glad you got onto the Grammy selection it's really awesome. You are in a league of your own but you can touch base with some of the other artists practitioners like you

I think I asked Malury if you guys wanted to donate to the Freedom For China website, I dont think she got round to sending me the charles Li song is there anywhere I could download it?

Anyway if you're interested in donating something I'd be happy to put that up together with a link to your site and so forth.

Best wishes,

Zubyre.

Hi, thanks for adding me! And much kudos / congratulations / praise from here; you've helped the cause and you've gotten your own material on sale / in circulation! It's an achievement that says much about your ideals, integrity, talent, and business savvy. (To stick to the knitting and to make it through a multi-year project shows focus and discipline, as well as drive and determination.)

Kudos! :D

Thank you very much Drew for supporting to unhold Justice in the face of Human rights violations going on in China, where thousands of Falun Gong practionners, Chinese Christians, Uyghurs muslims, Buddhist monks and all other victimes we won't forget are suffering.

Beginning in March 2006, The Epoch Times published many articles to expose the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China. For believing in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance...

Dear new Friend,here also this video that is very sad and touching, but really we hope you'll watch it. It really says a lot about "Chinese aspects" we could guess but don't know.
