He first started singing and playing guitar at his family’s Saskatchewan cabin when he was a kid, learning the three-chord cowboy songs strummed by his Grandma and Uncles. His love for music grew as he did, yet it wasn’t until university that he began writing songs. After winning a local songwriting contest, he submitted his Maple Creek-recorded portfolio around Nashville and started working with multiple CCMA-award-winner, Gil Grand. His debut single, “Betting on Red”, was released to radio in 2018.

His 2021 TikTok song, “Sunset Left”, gained 3 million plays and on April 12th, 2022, landed him on the TV show, “Canada’s Got Talent”, where judge, Howie Mandel, commended his performance.

Crystal Journey Welcomes 2025 In Kelowna, BC At The Beautiful Kelowna Yoga House With 2 Shows. What A Great Way To End 2024 And Welcome 2025. Set New Intentions For A Better And Prosperous Future. Tuesday, December 31st (2 SHOWS) Kelowna Yoga House 1272 St Paul St Kelowna, BC Show Times: 4:00pm- 6:00pm (Doors Open at 3:00pm) Doors Close At Show Time 8:00pm - 10:00pm (Doors Open At 7:00pm) Doors Close At Show Time Cost Is $45/Person Per Show. Includes Tea And Snacks As Always My Intention Is To Help People Have A Good Time, To Relax And To Connect With Some Really Powerful Energy. Please Join Us This New Years Eve To Celebrate A New Beginning And What Better Venue Then The Kelowna Yoga House. The first set of each show will focus on letting go of 2024 and it's intense energies by creating a safe and sacred space and with beautiful and harmonic music. The second set will be a chance for all of us to set new goals, uncover new energies and to connect with a whole new way of being. 2025 is the year to make it all happen. We cannot continue in the old ways and expect things to be different or better... It's time for a whole new makeover and this New Years Eve is a perfect opportunity to do just that. Are you ready to take the Journey? What You Can Expect From Crystal Journey: David's set up includes 6 Quartz Crystal Bowls, 8-10 Paiste Planet Gongs, 2 Santoors & Harmonica. Occasionally David Uses His Vocals To Create Harmonized Chants. Nothing is amplified, pre-recorded or rehearsed. Each set and performance is sonically pure, unique and completely improvised. www.crystaljourney.ca For more info about the music. ____________________________________________ About The Instruments: Paiste Gongs: Planet Gongs are tuned to the natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Planets. All of these gongs resonate in harmony with the celestial bodies and communicate a distinct aspect of the Music of the Spheres, which was first documented by Pythagoras in the 6th Century BC. Each planet gong contributes a vital pitch to the total harmonic resonance of our solar system. Crystal Bowls: The bowls are made of 99.992% crushed quartz crystal that is heated to 4000 degrees in a centrifugal mold. The thickness of the bowl determines the note, digitally tuned to C D E F G A and B corresponding to the charkas, our energy centers; root (C), sacral (D), solar plexus (E), heart (F), throat (G), third eye (A), and crown (B). The diameter of the bowl determines the pitch, ranging from 6 inches to 22 inches. The archetype of the instrument may be seen in a harp, carried horizontally and struck with two sticks, found in iconographical documents of the ancient Babylonian (1600-911 BCE) and neo-Assyrian (911-612 BCE) eras. Persian Santoor: Persian Santoor consists of a trapeziform case made of walnut wood, approximately 90 cm wide at the broad end, 36 cm wide at the narrow end and 6 cm deep. The strings are fixed to hitch-pins along the left-hand side and wound round metal wrest-pins on the right by means of which they are tuned with a tuning-key (Tuning Wrench). Each quadruple set of strings rests on a movable bridge of hardwood (kharak). The bridges are placed so that the strings are divided into three sections, giving the fundamental note and two higher octaves. There are nine (or sometimes 10, 11 and 12) quadruple strings an either side so that, with 18 groups of strings, 27 different notes can be played. The bass strings are of brass or copper and the trebles of steel. Persian Santoor is played by striking the strings with two light hammers (mezrab) held in three fingers of each hand. The ends of the sticks are usually covered with cloth to soften their impact on the strings. Harmonica: The harmonica, also known as a French harp or mouth organ, is a free reed wind instrument used worldwide in many musical genres, notably in blues, American folk music, classical music, jazz, country, and rock and roll. There are many types of harmonica, including diatonic, chromatic, tremolo, octave, orchestral, and bass versions. A harmonica is played by using the mouth (lips and tongue) to direct air into or out of one or more holes along a mouthpiece. Behind each hole is a chamber containing at least one reed. A harmonica reed is a flat elongated spring typically made of brass, stainless steel, or bronze. Information Source: Crystal Journey, David Hickey | eventbrite
