New single “I Am” by Van Hechter is #1 on MTV USA and the message is ”Dare to be yourself no matter what anyone says”


New single ”I Am” by Van Hechter is #1 on MTV USA and the message is ”Dare to be yourself no matter what anyone says”! The idea for the song came when singer/songwriter Van Hechter sat down and wrote (on a napkin) what he liked best about himself- and what he felt were his shortcomings –without sugar coating… The result is a very lucid and unapologetic self-portrait sung with intensity and warmth laying on a neo 80’s pop beat with elements of soul and funk thrown in to make us dance… ”I Am” is a very fresh, stylish tune, perfect for the summer of 2021… When asked why he’s written such a song at this stage, his answer was; ”Because I am going through some of the most exhilarating years of my life- trepidation, passion, heartbreak turning into deep joy within days… It’s fabulous, it’s surreal, and I want to remember what I am going through at the moment… All that’s happening to right me now is the result of having stubbornly followed my instincts and ideas when everybody was telling me I was a fool to do so. Yet here I am, years later, actually living exactly the way I’d imagined. I truly believe we should all dare to be ourselves even if that means being unpopular. Don’t conform to what doesn’t feel right. We all know deep down, what we’re meant to do or be”…
