Canadian singer-songwriter Wesley Attew left us stuck on repeat with his first single “Courage.” The minute we heard Attew’s voice we fell in love with it and couldn’t get it out of our heads! He has one of the richest and most charming voices we’ve ever heard and his performance on this record is incredibly catchy. Wesley Attew is a professional singer and has so much talent when it comes to singing and writing songs. The melodies are catchy and the production is creative and brought this song to a whole new level. This song is a great experience from start to finish and left us super excited to see Attew’s upcoming projects!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“I’ve started music later in life than most and this is the first song I’ve ever written on piano; it tells a story about overcoming self-doubt and withstanding cultural pressures around us. It’s tough to stay calm when you always feel like you’re underachieving or playing a game of never-ending catch up. But as Hemingway once said “guts, is grace under pressure”. With this song, I hope to inspire others to trust their guts and go for what feels right, to build the courage to keep moving forward.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Wesley Attew is an English born, Vancouver based singer-songwriter. He writes evocative Modern Folk-Pop that speaks directly to the soul. His songs illustrate the unparalleled sensation of exploring this world and the people in it. The music he makes isn’t just for a moment, but for every step of the journey.
Attew spent his late teens and early twenties travelling and working around the UK, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. He only began playing and writing music in his early 20’s, and formed his solo project after immigrating to Canada in 2015. Wesley’s vocals have a warm, powerful timbre that is intoxicating and thrilling, they are the ideal backdrop to his opulent and poetic songwriting.
On February 19th, 2021 Attew self-released his much anticipated Debut EP (“Where Do We Go From Here”).

Attew received Creative BC’s Career Development grant at the end of 2020 which would help fund his follow up.
Over the past year, Wesley’s fierce drive and dedication to be an independent artist has captured the attention of his listeners. He has begun crafting himself a loyal fanbase and following across all platforms. His music deserves a thunderous global following and he is well on his way.
