How this Vancouver busker met Ed Sheeran
Daniel Lew, a Vancouver artist and a musician of the TransLink Busker Program, shares his journey as a musician with hearing loss.
One of his memorable encounters while busking was when he got invited to watch Ed Sheeran's concert at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in 2023 during his 'Subtract' tour, and met Ed. Daniel and Ed Sheeran had a meaningful conversation sharing the things they have in common — busking and hearing loss.
Busking has been a big part of Daniel's music career. Whether you're a professional or emerging artist, transit can be your stage to share your art with thousands of people taking transit every day. As well, it can be a space to practice your craft and test new material with an audience.
