Singer/Songwriter
Hazel McDew is a 27-year-old singer from Toronto, Canada, who developed her musical roots at a young age in a children’s choir. Even as a child, her voice stood out for its range, purity, and expressiveness, talents that would later lead her to the stage.
At 19, Hazel took her first serious steps into the music industry with a coverband in Toronto, where she further developed her voice and gained experience performing live across a wide variety of styles. Her major breakthrough as a solo artist came at 24, when she decided to pursue her own artistic path.
She began performing powerful covers, including iconic songs by artists such as Céline Dion and Whitney Houston, showcasing her impressive vocal range and emotional depth. By now, Hazel has evolved into a unique artist with a distinctive sound and a strong lyrical identity: she mainly performs original songs written specifically for her voice and style.
In collaboration with songwriters from all over the world, she is building a growing repertoire that reflects her personality, vulnerability, and strength.
Hazel MacDew is an emerging voice in the modern pop landscape, with a classic undertone and a distinctive, increasingly well-defined artistic identity.
Guitarist/Singer
Nigel McDew is a 29-year-old guitarist from Toronto, Canada, whose passion for music began at an early age in a family where music was part of everyday life. Raised by parents who encouraged creativity and musical expression, Nigel found his own voice through the guitar, developing a style that blends technical skill with heartfelt emotion.
At 18, Nigel joined his first local band in Toronto, where he honed his musicianship by performing a wide variety of musical styles. Over the years, he became a versatile guitarist, playing with several bands and gaining valuable live and studio experience that shaped his distinctive sound.
Today, Nigel has chosen a new musical direction by joining forces with his younger sister, Hazel McDew, on her debut album “Bring Me Home”. As the album’s lead guitarist, he adds expressive melodies, warm acoustic textures, and soaring electric solos that perfectly complement Hazel’s powerful vocals.
Together, Hazel and Nigel continue the musical tradition they inherited from their family, combining their shared passion and individual talents into a heartfelt collaboration. Nigel McDew brings experience, sensitivity, and authenticity to the project, making him an essential part of the sound behind Hazel’s debut album.
