McEwan began playing the bass at 10 years old and had his first playing gig at the age of 2014. He embarked on his first tour in 2006. In 2007, McEwan graduated from the Danish Rhythmic Conservatory with a bachelor's degree in music.

McEwan has played bass for artists such as Atomic Kitten, Kyle Minogue, Rick Astley, and several artists produced under Deekay, who his brother Tim is a member of. He has also played bass on several television shows, including Eurovision and the Danish version of The X-Factor.

In 2025, McEwan provided synth bass for Syndicate (Intro) in addition to co-writing and playing synths on Summer's Ending Soon, both from the album Syndicate.

Lyrics

When the sun is going down
Sinking to the ground
Don't you get that feeling?
Yeah

Like you gotta get away
Cause baby if we stay
We might stop believing
Yeah

Baby we've been living like there's nothing to find
But maybe we can take it to the end of the line and see
So if I get a ticket would you take it to ride
We’ll hit the city limits and we’ll leave it behind be free
Looking for that feeling

You wanna run away
Before the summer fades
You know it's not too late
California dreaming looking for that feeling

Sun is going down
Over this town
Don't you get that feeling?
Got to get away
Cause baby if we stay
We’re gonna hit that ceiling
Feel like disappearing

Baby we've been living like there's nothing to find
But maybe we can take it to the end of the line and see
So if I get a ticket would you take it to ride
We’ll hit the city limits and we’ll leave it behind be free
Looking for that feeling

You wanna run away
Before the summer fades
You know it's not too late
California dreaming
Looking for that feeling

Baby we've been living like there's nothing to find
But maybe we can take it to the end of the line and see
So if I get a ticket would you take it to ride
We’ll hit the city limits and we’ll leave it behind be free
Looking for that feeling
