oquitlam singer–songwriter Etienne Siew is getting a lot of attention. In March, the graduate of Dr. Charles Best Secondary, as well as SFU’s kinesiology program, clinched the Artist of the Year accolade in the Best Country/Roots category and the Top Fan Vote at the Fraser Valley Music Awards. Siew, a first-time nominee, was up against fellow artists The Kwerks, Laura., Knudson & Connaughton and Michael Jantzen for the Best Country/ Roots award. The sixth annual awards program is part of CIVL Radio, the University of Fraser Valley’s campus and community radio station; it is funded by the Community Radio Fund of Canada. A freelance musician who launched his début EP, “Better Man,” at Place des Arts in Coquitlam in 2019 to a crowd of more than 100 supporters, Siew said he was about to go on tour to promote his work when COVID-19 shut down his plans in March 2020. Over the past two years, Siew’s booked gigs were cancelled due to the changing provincial health orders for gatherings. Instead of performing, he took his guitar — and pen and pad — into nature and began writing songs, some of which he plans to record later this year. He’s set to perform at the Powtown Shakedown Festival in Powell River this summer. Visit etiennesiew.com for show updates.
