His songs illustrate the unparalleled sensation of exploring this world and the people in it. The music he makes isn't just for the moment, but for every step of the journey. 

 

Attew spent his late teens and early twenties traveling and working around the UK, Australia, Asia and the Middle East.

Attew received Creative BC's Career Development grant at the end of 2020 to help fund his follow up project. "Courage" was Attew's first single to follow up his debut EP, released with Two Keys Records on November 10th, 2021.
