As a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and percussionist, Canadian born Todd Kowaluk expresses Love, Loss, Faith, Fierceness, and Hope in these troubled times. Whether it be from his fluid vocal style or his honest reflections within these compositions, Kowaluk conjures a unique blend of  pop, rock and folk and has developed a sound and style uniquely his own.

His EP "Love Can Set Us Free” released in 2018 was recorded in Vancouver at Lucky Dog Studios with producer Manny Alviar. 

The title track was nominated and won an Award for "Best Pop Demo" in 2017 at the IMC's Award held in Hollywood California.

Kowaluk emphasizes that working with Manny was instrumental in taking this set of songs to a new level. "Manny really pushed my boundaries in many ways and I leaned on him a lot through the recording process. Particularly with my voice, taking me out of my comfort zone, which was great because that's how you grow with anything you do. You don't learn 'Jack Squat' if you are not pushing your own edge at least somewhat. The GOLD is in the discomfort!  People ask me what motivates me to write and record music and I would say that I would like to have more of a voice in the world... and yet what I am discovering is that it has been more about me finding my own voice and what really matters to me." 

 Now with his new single "Enough Is Enough,", Kowaluk may have found that voice. He had the catchy, 

Paul Westerberg-esque indie pop guitar riff laid out back in the day of "Love can set Us Free” but set it aside for when he cracked the conceptual code of the old adage "enough is enough.” 

"For me, as a songwriter, the question Enough is Enough kept asking me was 'how does this song end’ ? That questioning made me want to evolve this song somehow, find a brighter ending, hope for new beginning, a higher version of myself. I wanted to be a better human somehow, & hopefully in the process a better songwriter."

When is enough enough? How does an artist know when something is finished? How does a heart know when it's healed? Are humans as a race missing the beauty that's all around them by putting limits on themselves and others."Enough Is Enough" starts with that fatalistic phrase 

and turns it into a question and a call for people to be honest with their hearts, with each other and with, well, infinity. 

If love can set us free, why constantly test it with boundaries? 

The pondering of all these questions is set within the backwards (chorus first) structure 

of the song and Kowaluk's personal experience with his questioning nature. 

"There's really not much traditional about this song. It starts with a chorus, and generally songs don't start with a chorus, It questions the rules and 

at the same time asks what is important about being human in this ever-changing world of ours. It's a protest song!”

Kowaluk enlisted the production support of local Vancouver electronic music legend Dave King of longwalkshortdock.

"I met Dave King in the hallway of the studio I had been renting a couple nights a week over the last year or so. We hit it off pretty well and he like 

some of my original songs and kept saying he was willing to put a song of mine together as a producer sometime. I was like ya sure 

that sounds great. He suggested recording Enough is Enough which at the time wasn't a complete song and he gets 

full credit and major kudos for lighting a fire under my ass to finish the song.

Kowaluk believes working with consciousness and meditation are major factors in his songwriting process.

His artistic endeavors have brought him full-scale to founding his company, Lucky Dog Productions. 

Lucky Dog oversees the business requirements of being a solo artist.

Of the changing music scene, Kowaluk notes, "There are so many opportunities for exposure if you are willing 

to do the work. You don't really know what the possibilities are, kind of like consciousness.
