Sail Away

The musician will be at ECC from noon to 1 p.m. to sing his new single, "Sail Away," which was featured in Spotify editorial playlists, including Fresh Finds Philippines. The Surrey resident was one of the Top 10 finalists of CBC’s Toyota Searchlight 2021, as well as the music winner of last year’s Surrey Art and Business Awards. He received a nomination as Pop Artist of the Year and an Excellence Award by a BIPOC artist from the 2021 Fraser Valley Music Awards, presented by CIVL Radio 101.7 FM.
