A two-month-old song from a Mission artist has become the biggest music hit to come out of the Fraser Valley in recent history.
Isaiah Faber, known as Powfu, released 鈥渄eath bed (coffee for your head) ft. beabadoobee鈥 in April 2020, and the song been heard by over 440 million people on Spotify.
The music video, much of it filmed at Abbotsford鈥檚 Mill Lake Park, has reached over 90 million views on Youtube. Faber鈥檚 other music videos are also filmed at various Abbotsford locations.
In order to become the Fraser Valley鈥檚 biggest hit of all time, it would have to surpass the Carly Rae Jepsen鈥檚 smash 2013 hit 鈥淐all Me Maybe,鈥 which has over 1.2 billion views on Youtube.
It seems music runs in the family as Faber鈥檚 father, David, is the lead singer of the Canadian punk band Faber Drive. Faber Drive, also hailing from Mission, was nominated for a Juno Award in 2008.
