Aaron Sand is a New York based singer-songwriter. Born in 2000, he unfortunately went through tragedy when his father passed away in the 9/11 terror attacks. His latest single ‘Still Here (For Dad)’ was written in memory of his father.
‘Still Here (For Dad)’ is a vulnerable song. The main components are a piano and Aaron’s voice which, whilst stripped back, form a formidable partnership. Aaron’s vocals are raw and emotional, but bold and confident at the same time, narrating his vivid lyrics incredibly well. The piano provides the perfect foundations, as violins ebb and flow in between adding to the emotional atmosphere of the track.
Aaron tells us: “I hope that by releasing this track, I can help others who’ve either lost someone in the attacks or really just in any situation. I hope that this song is something that people can relate to… something that will let people know they aren’t alone and give them the strength to keep going. While it was written for my dad and it’s extremely personal to me, I definitely feel like it’s something that others can relate to as well, and it’s something I feel people should hear because it can really help them. I also really hope that people buy it, stream it, add it to playlists, and share it, because I’m donating 50% of the proceeds from this song to the 9/11 family/tribute center which has been struggling to stay open, and every cent counts.” Whilst the track provides a fantastic, safe space for his audience who are struggling to find solace in, it’s also important to note that the 9/11 Tribute Museum requires his audience’s full support also – the link can be found here.
With a positive attitude in the studio, and a passion to make his audience connect, we think he’ll go all the way.
