About
Ted Kim is an award winning singer/songwriter and recording artist from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada.
Ted, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, drums, bass, piano, synths, and trumpet. In addition to his solo career, Ted drums for the Chilliwack punk/ska/alternative band Like Bears, and Lead Guitar for Alt-Punk band Gord. In the absence of live performances during the global pandemic, Ted has expanded his musical portfolio to include recording and producing.
His earlier work bannered under the alias “Dear Father”, and released two records, 100 Years (2017) and Away from Home (2021), a Factor funded project. During this time Ted entertained audiences coast to coast with his soft melancholic sound, and was nominated for a total of 5 FVMA Awards.
Ted’s musical influences include contemporary folk and alternative rock artists from the 90’s and early 2000’s such as City & Colour and Radiohead.
In early 2024 Ted released a string of singles which led to the release of his debut album “Another way” (August 2024), which charted at various community/campus radio stations across the country, and gave Ted the Folk Artist of the Year nomination for the Fraser Valley Music Awards in 2024 and led to him winning the "Excellence by a BIMPOC artist" in 2025. The album was written, recorded, mixed and mastered by him in his home studio in Chilliwack.
Ted is currently working on his next body of work.
Latest Release
Another Way
The theme of my debut album is growth; I talk a lot about
living life ‘another way’ and encouraging myself to change who I am. Each song explores a different angle of where growth has challenged me. The album jumps around with instrumentation a lot, offering everything from more chill acoustic productions, low-fi 808 beats, to more upbeat productions with full drums. I worked very hard to provide you with a very thought-out album from start to finish, I hope it's able to help you find what you need to find in times of uncertainty or not knowing where you are headed in life. This album was 100% written, played, recorded, mixed and mastered by myself, recorded in my bedroom in Chilliwack, B.C., and album artwork was done by Natalia Murillo.
