GOLDEN is the newest release from singer-songwriter Chris Assaad.
“The redemptive power of love and the uplifting magic of a sweet, soulful melody are two of life’s most beautiful phenomena—kindred emanations of spirit. On his new album, GOLDEN, Assaad probes that deep heart connection. Over the course of eleven superbly-crafted songs, Assaad taps into the emotional expressiveness of classic soul and r&b to deliver empowering lyrics that confront life’s pain and doubt—emerging triumphantly into that transcendent light which transforms suffering to joy.” ~ Alan Di Perna – BrightStar
“His fourth studio album and without question, his most raw, potent, and vulnerable offering to date.” ~ Flying Colours Music

Meet Chris
Chris Assaad is a multi-talented artist, singer-songwriter, wordsmith and speaker. His songs are pure alchemy that open the heart and inspire, connecting us to our wholeness and joy. His music soothes and seduces with exquisite layers of acoustic and electric acoustic guitars falling over R&B, reggae and soul-infused grooves serenaded by Chris’s richly textured emotive vocals.
Chris is an up-and-coming artist within the conscious music community and wellness & transformation movement opening up for artists such as Trevor Hall, Ayla Nereo, Michael Franti and Nick Mulvey. He has also collaborated live and in the studio with Mose and has been a featured guest on Lee Harris’ Impact The World podcast and Portal Presents live series.
He has been growing an international grassroots community, sharing his eclectic blend of soulful roots music, heart-opening songs and stories with audiences in Canada, Australia, the US & Europe playing concert and festival dates from Wanderlust Whistler to The Sound Dome in Sydney to the Great Hall in Toronto.
Chris recently released his fourth studio album entitled GOLDEN in partnership with White Swan Records & Black Swan Sounds. His most raw and vulnerable album to date was recorded in Victoria, BC in collaboration with producer Joby Baker (Deva Premal & Miten, Alex Cuba & the Wailin’ Jennys) who also produced Assaad’s LION LP.
Chris has a deep passion and unique gift for supporting others in liberating their voice, amplifying their authentic self-expression and tapping into their infinite creative potential.
Chris’ artist journey began with a leap several years ago to follow his heart and passion for music. Just as he began exploring his love of singing and songwriting he was suddenly faced with a rapidly progressing hereditary hearing loss condition.
Nearly two years and several surgeries later, Chris’s hearing was restored and he was given a second chance, further cementing his path of a life dedicated to his artistry. He has become an inspirational voice for others to follow their creative and spiritual paths towards living a life they love.
As a facilitator and guide, Chris holds a powerful sacred space for healing and transformation, drawing upon years of experience, deep empathic attunement and intuitive guidance. He has developed his own Voice Alchemy method to help clients access the healing power of their voice, weaving practical tools, ancient wisdom and multiple healing modalities to bring forth the full potency of their unique soul song and expression. Chris is also the creator of Follow Your Art, a lovingly-crafted online program and detailed map to support the creative journey.
