“HOLD” introduces nolan pierce as a voice to watch in indie pop

Most people chase just one dream, but nolan pierce? He juggled two lives with remarkable grace. International swimming competitions filled his days while melodies quietly took shape in his mind, forming what would eventually become his distinctive musical identity.

From childhood, Pierce mastered this delicate balance—swimming laps before sunrise, then crafting lyrics after dark. The piano became his first confidant. His guitar? That was his second.

Music wasn’t some casual hobby though. It served as his anchor, his sanctuary, and ultimately… his true calling.

Pierce’s latest offering, "HOLD," masterfully blends indie pop with downtempo vibes into this smooth, chill cocktail that’s practically guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. His falsetto? Absolutely beautiful and precise.

The production stays minimal—downtempo style—which perfectly complements those sensual lyrics. Pierce sings, "Now I’m chasing the rush behind your eyes, but I wake up alone every time."

Sure, the lyrics explore that familiar ache of love that’s just out of reach. But his vocals carry this haunting quality that really deepens the emotional impact.
