In 2025, we returned to Vancouver once again.
Thanks to Jade Music Fest for having us back.

From the stage to everyday moments,
Every moment became a new story for us.
And along this journey,we finished a new song with Daniel.
We can’t wait to share the sound of this journey with you.

Refolkus has returned! Season Five of your favourite Folk Music podcast launches today!
👉 LINK IN BIO
In this week's episode, we chat with artist Daniel Lew about how a life-changing hearing loss at 23 reshaped his relationship with music. He discusses his nonlinear approach to songwriting and recording, how self-help literature has influenced his creative mindset, and the ways he’s adapted his live performance to work with his physical limitations. It’s an empowering conversation about turning challenges into creative strengths.
About Daniel Lew
13 years ago, Daniel Lew woke from a nightmare to find that he had lost hearing in one ear. This shocking experience re-directed his life and supercharged his love for music. Now, he writes introspective songs that are anchored by folk, and also surf between rock, soul, and hip hop. His melodies shine with honesty, merging soulful vocals with catchy guitar riffs, and groovy rhythms. He aims to sing every song as if it’s the last, and hopes his vibes help make the world a better place. His heartfelt performances have caught the attention of Ed Sheeran, Jacob Collier, and Dan Mangan. He has released 4 albums, received CBC radio play, showcased nationally and internationally, including as an official showcase artist at the Folk Canada Conference in 2025, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Currently, Daniel is delving back into writing and recording with a new album in the works for 2027.

五天的溫哥華,
只有最後一天迎來好天氣。
Five days in Vancouver,
only one day of sunlight.
清晨六點,我們走進史丹利公園,
從微亮的天色等到太陽升起。
記錄了一首歌、一次遠行,
也記錄了音樂把我們牽在一起的瞬間。
6AM at Stanley Park,
waiting for the dark to slowly let go.
From first light to sunrise —
this MV holds the moment
music pulled us together.
🎬〈Through the Line〉MV 預告
🗓 1/30(五)20:00 上線

Some stories are meant to continue ❤️ 🤣
In April, Caroline and I wrote “A Minute for You” as a reminder to take a moment to cool off when our tempers are rising.. We thought it would be relatable for any relationship dynamic.
I’m proud of this song, and how it helped me find my way back to her, and her infectious laugh 😂 . @smootherinduo@caroldingruiling
Thank you @spotifyforartists@spotify for play-listing “Through the Line”. I very much appreciate that this song is resonating, especially in Taiwan, the home country of my incredible collaborators @honiband
It’s an uplifting song about community, so if you’re feeling you’re in need of that, please give it a spin and I promise you will feel good afterwards.
“No matter where we’re from, through the line we are one”
Take care
✌🏼 ❤️ 🌍
有時,我們像站在細線上的音符——
想被聽見,卻害怕靠近,只能在猶豫中漂浮。
直到有人把原本孤單的音符,串成真正的旋律。
謝謝每一位,和我們一起完成這首歌的夥伴。
Sometimes, we are like notes balancing on a fragile line—wanting to be heard, yet afraid to get close, drifting in hesitation.Until someone weaves those once-lonely notes into a true melody.
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this song to life.
