Imagine a young guy from Vancouver who blends the style of a retro icon with the brains of the internet age. That’s young friend, and it’s hard to overlook him. He practically lives for antiques, vintage cars, and European architectural masterpieces. Recently, he dropped a new track and video called “Boyfriend Material” — bold yet incredibly sexy. The man behind this tasty piece, Drew Tarves, takes on the persona of a cheerful pop crooner, but this time with a laid-back blues-rock vibe. However, beneath all that bright exterior lies his inner struggle — the fear of truly letting someone in.
