Nano is a Swedish rising star. Born in Stockholm, the singer-songwriter began to focus on music after his mother gave him a synthesizer by the age of 12.
His musical style combines pop and r&b sounds. First single was “Lion”.
This year, Nano took part in Melodifestivalen where he qualified to the final with the song “Hold on”.
The emotive and soulful single has now a music video directed by Christopher Perez (Mark Knopfler, Omer Bhatti) and produced by Michael Jackson’s eldest son Prince.
About the song, the artist, born Nano Omar, said: “I’ve been waiting for this moment since I was a kid, a chance to be heard around the world. I’m so grateful and proud to share Hold On. I just had an amazing year in my home country where this song moved people and brought them together. I wrote Hold On because I had too, I needed to feel hope in my darkest hour. This song has brought me so much more than I could dream of”.
Lyrics:
I close my eyes and pray for a break
Uuuh
Uuuh
I can see everything going my way
Uuuh
Uuuh
I take a deep breath as I hear my kids play
Uuuh
Uuuh
And I know I gotta be brave
Uuuh
Uuuh
You gotta have the patience
And believe you’re gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you’re crying on the inside
But you fake it ‘til you make it
Gotta hold on
You gotta have the patience
And believe you’re gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you’re tired of surviving
But you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
You gotta have the patience
And believe you’re gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you’re tired of surviving
But you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
I danced with the darkness ‘til I found the light
Uuuh
Uuuh
In the shape of a woman she the love of my life
Uuuh
Uuuh
Keeps my head up high she gives me all that I need
Uuuh
Uuuh
She picks me right up when I’m down on my knees
Uuuh
Uuuh
You gotta have the patience
And believe you’re gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you’re tired of surviving
But you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
You gotta have the patience
And believe you’re gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you’re tired of surviving
But you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
I’ve got the feeling I’m going
I’ve got the feeling I’m going
I’ve got the feeling I’m going places
I’ve got the feeling we’re going
I’ve got the feeling we’re going
I’ve got the feeling we’re going places
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
You gotta have the patience
And believe you’re gonna make it
Gotta hold on
I know you’re tired of surviving
But you gotta keep on trying
Gotta hold on
