SINGLE RELEASE

Candace Coker is a Trinidad-born singer/songwriter who brings an evocative blend of poetry, gospel and musicality to the world of alternative-folk. Her sound carries with it a jazzy softness and a neo-soul grit, which she attributes to her love for the 1940s, as well as her Afro-Caribbean roots. Discovering her talent at the young age of 10, Coker began songwriting as therapy. A move to Vancouver in 2013 marked a shift in her music, as she gained a new excitement for life and beauty, and as she wrestled through her own curiosities about love, faith and what it means to be Afro-Caribbean within a North American context. Today, her music is a call to celebrate diversity, to heal, and to expose emotion at its root. The sweet and simple melody of Candace Coker’s “Day Go Down” perfectly encapsulates her soft voice and intrigues the listener.
