Music has the power to uplift, inspire, and bring people together. It is a universal language that can heal even the deepest of wounds. However, what happens when the creator of the music is unable to listen or even write it due to a debilitating condition? This was the case for Sam Nardella of MRY when he was hit with a rare case of Ramsay Hunt on Halloween night of 2021. It left him with tinnitus and sharp pains in the inner ear, making it impossible to pursue his dream of making music. This is where his story of resilience and perseverance began. Unable to find meaning in life outside of music, Sam found himself walking out of concerts after the opening song and being unable to last 10 minutes in the studio due to ear pain. His dream of creating music vanished, leaving him with sadness and self-pity. But after a year of feeling lost and with a resistance to making music, he decided to flip the narrative and begin creating as much as physically possible, even if only for a few minutes each day. Through his perseverance and determination, Sam began to infuse every song with freedom, escape, and mystique. His latest single, “Just Try,” is a testament to his journey of resilience. It is about knowing that we can create our own future if we just try, even when we don’t know how the picture will paint with time. The song is a collaboration with producer Mario Rodriguez of That’s Nice and is a reflection of Sam’s love for music and the liberation that comes with it. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a way forward, and music can help us find that way. MRY’s music is a fusion of indie, alternative, and electronic sounds that create a unique and captivating experience for listeners. His lyrics are deeply personal and reflective of his journey, making them relatable to anyone who has experienced adversity. The journey of MRY is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can find a way forward and create something beautiful. His music is a beacon of hope, reminding us that no matter what life throws at us, we can always find a way to create our own future if we just try.
