    The Journey Behind “Holding On”

    “Holding On” has been a long time in the making, evolving from a simple dream into a fully realized production.

    After over two months of dedicated work and an overwhelming response on social media, Thomas caught the attention of producers Devon Murray and Aidin Nortje—renowned for their work with local stars Ben Rodrigues and Eva Marie—who helped bring his vision to life.

    The result is a track that seamlessly weaves harmonic depth with poignant lyrics, telling a story of love lost and the emotional weight of being discarded by someone who once meant everything.

    A Unique Sound with Universal Appeal

    Crafted by a diverse team of songwriters and producers, “Holding On” draws from various musical influences, giving it a distinctive artistic edge. Its universal theme and heartfelt delivery make it a compelling debut that is sure to resonate with listeners worldwide.

    A Musical Journey Years in the Making

    Born and raised in Cape Town, Thomas Paul’s musical journey was practically destined. Growing up in a home filled with melody—thanks to his father, an accomplished musician—he started playing piano at just four years old. His passion deepened through school bands, choirs, and ensembles, culminating in a standout moment when he toured with his a cappella group at the Edinburgh Festival.

    Influences and Aspirations

    Inspired by contemporary artists like Benson Boone and Myles Smith, Thomas crafts infectious pop songs that balance upbeat energy with raw emotion.

    His ability to capture life’s highs and lows in music allows listeners to find solace and connection. A defining moment in his journey came when he watched Robbie Williams perform live—a show that cemented his dream of pursuing music professionally.
