LA-based Ferris Pier creates incandescent pop anthems for the dreamer in us all.
The producer’s latest composition features The Voice standout Abby Cates who lends a soothing and soulful color to his bubbly production. The video for the single spins a vivid narrative of a girl who daydreams of dancing under LA’s bright night lights, and leaves her small town life behind to do so. It’s a lively tribute to that pivotal moment when you finally decide to answer the long-suppressed urge for a change.
It’s an apropos theme, as the man behind Ferris Pier, Jonathan Pasma, cut back his hours as a professional sports physician to pursue his music. It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but Pasma knows that he couldn’t listen to the peanut gallery when he felt it was time to segue into a music career. “Lift Me Up’ is about being creatively constrained by people who are afraid of change. People who are afraid to explore and be brave,” he reflects. “I want the song to inspire people to follow their passion despite the obstacles.”
