Zack Landry has been delivering us the gift of his story through song for decades now, and as one of the more thrilling gospel singer in recent memory, the Louisiana native has once again nailed an invigorating and inspiring record with “Hold On.” With trials and tribulations that include surviving and rebuilding his life after Hurricane Katrina, there is no other voice that can deliver such a powerful message of belief through the darkest times. The light shines bright, and his voice resonates throughout every vibration of the energetic three-and-a-half-minute thrill ride. A mix of classic gospel vocal arrangements with new-age production, Landry once again instills confidence and compassion in times of peril through the word of he Lord.
Growing up in Vacherie, Louisiana, Zachariah D Landry had a gift and love of music he did not realize. He found himself sitting at a keyboard listening to music then duplicating it. He was told, “Maybe you should take this serious. Not too many people are able to play by ear.” Zack, as he is called by his family and friends, began to play the organ and piano at age 15. He was then placed in classes where he learn how to read music. It did not take long for his family to realize that he was given the gift of music by God.
The family’s faith was tried and tested. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina displaced Zack and his family. Times were hard but his faith grew stronger. At that time, he realized what the songwriter meant when he wrote, “Because He Lives.” Zack realized that it was God who had the final say because He held tomorrow. Through this adversity, Zack wrote several songs, “Lord, We Say Thank You” and “I Realize.” He realized his purpose is to win souls for Christ throughout the nation with music.
