Candace Coker is a Trinidad-born Christian-folk singer/songwriter who brings an evocative blend of poetry, art and whimsy to her music. 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 a purely therapeutic exercise, crafting melancholy folk melodies that put sound and language to her emotions, created space for conversations with God and provided stillness for her anxious mind to rest. As she has experienced more of life, however, the themes and stylistic elements in her music also expanded to include musings on life and beauty; relational reconciliation; emotional, mental and physical healing; the character of God; and love. Her songs can be described as love notes, journal entries and translations of life with God and others. 2017 marked the year that Coker decided to pursue music professionally. Since then, she has performed many shows around Vancouver, Canada and in her hometown, Trinidad and Tobago. She has worked with award-winning film composer Daryl Bennett on several works for film including the I Am Paul Walker and Bisping Documentaries. She has also been a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. Most recently, she has completed her first studio album Bare and Bones, which is scheduled for full release in February 2023.
