Singer-songwriter Dan Hill with his giant 1978 Juno-winning hit Sometimes When We Touch. He began writing songs at age 14 and was playing professionally in small gatherings and coffee houses by the time he reached 17. More on every aspect of Dan�s life: family history, personal drama, and his international success as both a singer/songwriter is explained in riveting, often hilarious and poignant detail, in his newly released memoir: �I Am My Father�s Son�

Stef Lang is a Canadian singer, songwriter, producer and performer who resides in Vancouver, BC. Originally from the small town of Ladysmith, BC found on Vancouver Island, Lang moved to Vancouver at 17 to pursue her musical career. Lang played every pub, bar, club and caf� she could, meanwhile honing her songwriting craft. Known for her engaging performances and edgy lyrics, Lang released her first full-length album The Underdog in May 2010. Her hit single, 'Mr. Immature', achieved mainstream success when it peaked at #5 on The Billboard Chart for Canadian Emerging Artists. Lang�s follow up single, 'Slave2Love' was dubbed the #1 most added song in Canadian Radio.

Sue Medley was named West Coast Music Award Songwriter of the Year as well as Female Vocalist of the Year (three times). She also won West Coast Music's Single of the Year Award. She won Junos for Most Promising Female Vocalist and album graphics. She was named Songwriter of the Year by Socan. At the Dawson's Creek Music Awards she won Best Female Artist as well as Best Song of the Year.

In 1996, Susie McGregor and Andy Lorimer started their own record label �Highland Music Multimedia�. In 1997 she released her debut album called �Something Real� which featured the popular video supported song �3000 Miles�. �The Warm Feet Tour�, a promotional radio tour that extended from one Canadian coast to the other, delivered the warmth of McGregor�s voice as well as a truckload of McGregor brand socks. Her following CD �Tartan� revisited the themes of the east coast as well as her own Scottish ancestry. The first of a compilation CD series called Jewels of the Island was released in 2000, and featured female singer/songwriters from Vancouver Island.
