Gabriel effortlessly glides through his range utilizing every aspect and nuance he can. From his grit in the opening lines to his falsetto, Mozart’s vocals further drive home the entire point of the song. He is no longer holding back.
The music video for “Hold Back” tells the story of Mozart gaining his new life in Barcelona, where he started his journey with sobriety and created a whole new world for himself by playing open mics and venues in the city.
Mozart states, “Hold Back was the first song I ever performed in front of a live audience at an open mic. I was 28 at the time, and very heartbroken because my fiancé left me. For some strange reason I had this urge in me that said: in order for me to survive this heartbreak, I would need to sing a song to strangers. That night I sang this song.
I didn’t know that this was going to be the door of opportunity to have a band and to begin my music career.”
