Summer Songs & Soda | Episode 1 | Narai Dawn
What happens when you slow down long enough to hear the story behind the music? In the first episode of Summer Songs & Soda, we join Narai Dawn at English Bay in Vancouver, BC, for an honest conversation about songwriting, creativity, and the experiences that continue to shape her artistry. During the conversation, Narai shares the story behind “Tidal Waves,” an unreleased song she wrote in memory of her mother after her passing. It’s a deeply personal reflection on grief, healing, and finding your voice through music, with thoughtful moments and insights that stay with you long after the conversation ends. Summer Songs & Soda is an interview series by Sound Tonic, where artists gather in meaningful places to talk about the songs that shaped them, and the stories behind them.

We headed to Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, for a sunset conversation with the incredible David Morin on Summer Songs & Soda. Surrounded by the ocean and golden light, we sat down to talk about the realities of being an artist, the sacrifices that come with a creative life, and broke down his song “Auto Pilot.” David has spent years performing on streets and stages around the world, bringing music and joy to everyone he meets. If you’ve spent time in Vancouver, you’ve likely seen him performing on the corner of Robson and Granville, sharing his gift with the city he calls home. This conversation is an honest look at resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to keep creating. Artist: @davidmorinmusic Location: Vancouver, Canada
