Happy Sunday! 

I got the chance to catch up with an old schoolmate of mine! Now singing his heart out in BC, Shaedan Hawes is working his way to make it big in the big bad world of music. He has a chance to get his name out there as he is in the top 100 in the CBC Searchlight Contest!
Here's our chat about the journey with the contest and his new track “Montreal.” (available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon and Google play.)

A little about Shaedan.
Shaedan got his musical start while living and going to school here in Okotoks.  
Shaedan currently lives in Kelowna, BC where he has continued to play his guitar and gain his confidence playing in the local coffee shops and park music festivals around the Okanagan area. He entered two music contests in Lake Country, BC and the second year placed third! He is a self-taught guitarist and vocalist. He is a graduate of the Foothills Composite High-school in 2013. (same year as myself)
