Award-winning folk artist Tennyson King will release his powerful new single “Most Of My Days”
“Most Of My Days” is the first offering from his upcoming album 百城 (100 Cities), due in May 2026. Known for blending Western indie folk with traditional Chinese instruments, King continues to expand the boundaries of contemporary folk-rock by drawing from both his Canadian and Hong Kong heritage. The track is a dark and moody indie-folk song built on smooth vocals, rhythmic guitar, and atmospheric instrumentation, reflecting the unique cross-cultural sound that has earned him international recognition. “Most Of My Days” is inspired by King’s personal journey of reclaiming his identity while addressing the fear of speaking out on global issues. “The song is about finding the courage to speak our truths, not being afraid of judgment from others for what we believe in,” says King. “It was inspired by feeling powerless in the face of social injustices—genocide, environmental destruction, discrimination towards immigrants—while also rediscovering the love for my culture and heritage. Growing up, I tried to hide my identity to assimilate, but this song is my anthem of not being afraid anymore. That’s why it includes traditional Chinese instruments, masks, dancers, and fashion in the video—it’s about embracing who I am fully and proudly.” With “Most Of My Days”, King not only delivers a moving piece of music, but also a bold statement of authenticity and resilience that sets the tone for his forthcoming album.
A charismatic live performer with a restorative, folk-rock sound infused with earthy roots, pop, and subtle psychedelic tones, King has performed across Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Japan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, and Holland. His international profile includes a standout performance at Glastonbury Festival 2024, as well as showcases at Folk Alliance International 2025, and appearances at major festivals such as Vancouver Island MusicFest, Beaches Jazz Festival, Knockengorroch, FOCUS Wales, and Mission Folk Music Festival. King’s last album, Good Company, earned features on CBC Radio, SiriusXM, Stingray Music, OMNI TV Mandarin & Cantonese, The RepresentASIAN Project, Exclaim!, and more.
