Love this! Very Tom Waits with a splash of Santana!

"Slow Down" is my first published songwriting collaboration! The concept came to me when I was stopped at a red light, feeling tired, and feeling content to just put the world on pause for a moment.

I pulled in a 3 collaborators to write and produce this track.


We wrote this song from our experience having those moments where you just want a moment to breathe, to not be busy, to not be committed to doing anything. 

It’s leaning away from the cultural push to be doing, achieving, hacking, hustling, and everything else we do to prove our worth… 

…when what we really want is to feel unconditionally worthy.

A modern sea shanty with a classic folk rock edge

The Pirate Song

An original folk murder ballad perfect with Netflix and chill or any soundtrack! Dark, mysterious, sad and intense! A Nick Drake vibe sang over Ukulele swirling in a sea of bass and trebly guitars

Save Me a Seat

Blues in A Minor

Blues In A Minor

Yes, life gets better after 50. Ask Stewart McKie. From rock ‘n’ roll roadie and booking agent at 19 to a successful 25-year middle management career, the Kitchener, Ont. based songwriter shows you are never too old to chase your dreams.
Following a buy-out package from his last employer, McKie took time to reflect and ponder what was next. The artist was overcome with a desire to write. He set up a home studio and got to work. Besides unleashing a spurt of new material, this creative awakening led the songwriter to dig into his vast catalogue of unreleased songs and rework some compositions written more than 30 years ago. 

The result, Save Me a Seat, is McKie's solo debut. Released in April 2021, the record features 14 songs that sway from country to soul and from rock to blues.
Save Me a Seat is just the beginning of McKie’s musical journey. Since its release, the artist has not stopped writing. And, he frequently collaborates with other artists from a variety of genres. Recent co-writes include: work with French Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Sokal and a new song with CJ Cooper featuring Australian Rapper SINnista_Minista. He is also exploring synching songs for TV and film.  

“At this point in my life, it’s more about just enjoying the ride than the end goal,” says McKie, of what his future in music holds. “But I love music and I’ll never stop chasing these dreams.”
