Seattle, WA / Pop : Folk
About
“Hold On” was written shortly after the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. The song was inspired by the story of Kiki, a seven-year old boy who was pulled from the rubble 7 days after the earthquake hit. What must it have been like for Kiki to be trapped beneath his home for 7 days? To hold and sing to his four-year old little brother, Titite, who died in Kiki’s arms before rescuers could get to them? To hold on to the belief that there was still a chance he'd make it out? No one should ever have to experience that kind of horror, especially not a little boy. But even amidst that unthinkable tragedy, the look on Kiki’s face when he was pulled out of the rubble was beautiful. Joyful. Unforgettable. That image inspired me to write this song.
