"Won't Give Up" - Jorge "Jay" Rivera-Herrans

Listen to this song from the new musical MY HEART SAYS GO by Matt Hawkins and Jorge Rivera-Herrans
Against the wishes of his father, a med school dropout named Indigo moves to California to chase his dream of becoming a songwriter. A story about listening to your heart, My Heart Says Go teaches kids to never give up on their dreams and parents to be prepared to help pick their kids back up when they fail.

Jay is Show Shepherd's first-ever Career Launch Fellow. He is a composer, lyricist, and performer raised in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Jay grew up studying intensely for a life in medicine, but then switched during his first year at the University of Notre Dame when he realized his passion was in musical theater. After receiving backlash for the sudden change, Jay teamed up with his professor, Matt Hawkins, to write Stupid Humans (now titled My Heart Says Go), a musical about a med school dropout who chases his dreams of becoming a songwriter. The musical debuted in a sold out run (including an extra show that sold out in 33 seconds) at the University of Notre Dame in February of 2019.

Your voice reminds me of Lin Manuel-Miranda

[@hannahmcrae3527]

THANKYOU i thought it was just me, also the rhyme scheme is so awesome and very hamilton coded, i love it

[@misfits9294]

Ok, I'm sorry, don't do that to him, I love Lin and the songwriting reminds me of him (major compliments) but he is not the best singer. Tho the rapping does sound a bit like him.

I have been watching your progress in creating Epic the musical. So glad you have been pursuing your dreams and have not giving up. I am looking forward to the day that we see your name in lights too!

[@papaetho12]

This is really something! I wonder how far this has gone through the creative process. I’d love to follow this and see how it progresses!!

[@showshepherd8563]

The show has been developed for a few years. First as an idea in Jay's head, then it's first production at the University of Notre Dame in spring of 2019.
And there's already many more plans in the works for the future!
