Chase was raised in Victoria, BC. Born to a singer and voice teacher, he grew up singing and playing the piano. “My mother always told me that ‘Piano was like Math, you have to learn it.’ Which is pretty cool when you think about it, having that value instilled in me at such a young age.” he says. Ward began studying drums and percussion in his teenage years and would later teach himself guitar and bass throughout highschool.

Despite his love for the West Coast, Ward moved across Canada to live and study music in Toronto. While his home base is now strongly “in The Six“, Ward frequently plays and tours on the West Coast to keep in touch with his roots.

With his deep love of music and collaboration, the sky is the limit for Ward’s music. “I’m constantly trying to explore and learn music from new genres and cultures. It’s all new language that I’m able to access at any given moment, whether I’m composing or performing.”
