TITUS BANK
TITUS BANK
Titus Bank has a voice that can stop an audience in its tracks. The Vancouver-based pop adventurer can effortlessly shift from a smooth croon to a soulful vibrato to a note-perfect howl — arresting and inviting; confident yet vulnerable.
Since the launch of his debut single “I Do Yeah”, which was praised by BBC Radio 1 as “pop perfection”, Titus has been steadily building and growing a fanbase, despite the pandemic putting a halt to his impressive streak of live performances supporting artists such as Mother Mother, Tim Baker, and Jeremy Dutcher. While Titus previously made waves with his ambitious, song-a-day 365 Songwriting Challenge (during which he wrote, recorded and released 185 in the span of a year), his new music is the result of a shifting focus toward songwriting refinement over sheer quantity. His songs have amassed over a million streams in 6 short months.
Titus' relentless approach to releasing new music culminates in the release of his debut EP Hopeless & Romantic released in July 2022, led by the new single “Radio”, co-written by Jack Newsome (Ryan Tedder, Meghan Trainor).
"With “Radio,” Bank strikes on an uplifting gem of buoyant songwriting and radio-ready hooks, bringing forth an effortless pop charm. It is the kind of track that seems tailor-made for summer, tinged with shimmering guitar melodies, synth earworms, and a giant euphoric ‘80s chorus." - Under the Radar
