Jan Rhaap promises to always be there for his children in new single
Becoming a father changes the way you view life, and since Jan Rhaap experienced this privilege for the first time, his life’s purpose has been to be the best parent possible.
In his brand-new single, PA STAAN VIR JOU, he promises his children that he will always be there to protect and support them.
“I wrote this song before my wife became pregnant with our second child, our little girl. We really wanted to have a second child,” he shares. “It means a lot me, and I’m proud to be able to promise my children that I will always be there when they need me.”
Although this pop-rock track, produced by Tertius Human, boasts strong lyrics and a serious message, it also has a catchy beat that listeners can dance to.
The music video, which is now also available, captures the precious relationship between a father and his children by focusing on the everyday things they enjoy together.
Filmed in Pretoria and Nelspruit by Quitessential Photo & Video Worx, the video includes scenes featuring a full band playing with him in parts of the song.
