While most chase one dream, nolan pierce lived two: excelling in international swimming competitions while quietly composing melodies that would become his signature sound.

From childhood, he balanced laps and lyrics—swimming before sunrise and writing music after dark. The piano was his first confidant; the guitar, his second.

But music was never just a hobby. It was his anchor, his escape, and now his true calling. 

Pierce’s latest release, “HOLD,” blends indie pop and downtempo into a smooth, chill cocktail designed to bring a smile to your face, highlighted by Pierce’s beautiful, precise falsetto.

The minimal downtempo production perfectly complements the sensual lyrics, as Pierce sings, “Now I’m chasing the rush behind your eyes, but I wake up alone every time.” 

While the lyrics explore the ache of a love just out of reach, his vocals carry a haunting quality that deepens the emotional impact. 

It’s a stunning performance—one that leaves you eager to hear more from Pierce.
