Vickers Way is the fruits of labour of 5 Chinese-Canadians that have come together to create their own unique sounds. Their band name is derived from the location of their original Richmond music studio, a place that all five deem as their common music “starting point”. They are currently based out of their newly renovated home studio in Coquitlam, British Columbia.     

The members all have drastically different musical backgrounds, but together they create original English songs that are influenced by modern, progressive rock and brit-pop. Contrary to the customary practice of having one single songwriter, their songs are all written, arranged and produced as one collaborative group. Through that process, they are able to play to their individual strengths and create distinctive tracks.  Finished pieces are depictions of their collective narrative and perception on current events and innermost feelings. They are set to debut their first EP in 2022. Vickers Way is a hardworking, sincere group that are actively seeking opportunities to share their original sounds with audiences beyond the four walls of their studio. 

This evolving band’s history dates back to 2012, when founding members Eric Sun(former lead singer), Chris Siu(former guitarist) and Roy Yuen (former guitarist, now bassist) were part of a project band (Plato’s Cave). As they wrote more original material together, they recruited classically-trained Timothy Lam (Roy’s former bandmate in Embryos) as their permanent drummer. Throughout the next couple years, the band collaborated with many different musicians however with numerous competing commitments the line up continued to change until 2019. The addition of Canto-pop award-winning songwriter Jimmy Zhan(current lead vocals /guitar) marked the official beginning of Vickers Way.  2020 and 2021 was a turbulent time due to Covid, but there were also some exciting new creative additions to the Vickers Way crew. Riv Lai (guitarist) with his natural lyricism and Zak Tang’s original soundscapes (guitarist / keys) have since joined Vickers Way to add their contributions to the mix. With the current line-up Vickers Way is sounding more refined, confident and refreshing than ever; they are eager to showcase their music at live venues near you!
