I am happy to announce the release of my dear friend Okan Ersan’s latest single, in which I had the privilege to participate. This song holds special significance as it was created during the challenging period of global lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It represents a time of difficulty and resilience for humanity. I am proud to have contributed to this project by playing the piano and assisting in the arrangement alongside Okan. The inspiration behind this song stemmed from Okan’s personal experience of losing his beloved dog, Ivy. It was a heartfelt tribute to a cherished companion. The recording also features the incredible talents of Ralph Salmins, Steve Rose, and Pat Levett. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
