CANDACE COKER
“Honest”
DESCRIPTION:
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. “Honest” is a song that addresses the artist’s longing to see people authentically express themselves without worry. Candace delivers the message with beautiful melodies that show off her unique vocal talent.
