I am SUPER excited to be a panelist at this years song of the summer contest. Music is such a source of expression and identity and to have an opportunity to listen to artists' creations is a privilege. I love music so much. Listening and finding new music, dancing to it, going to live shows, supporting my musician friends, and creating it.

I grew up in Maple Ridge, drumming in bands, then started to write my own songs and sing. I've been producing and performing my own music around Vancouver under 'theclarkeside' since 2023.

After a 6 month chapter in Mexico, I'm looking forward to step back into the Vancouver music scene, and what better way than to be a panelist for Song of the Summer 2025! Good luck to all artists and musicians participating!
