<… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two bands that used the name "LOFT" or "The Loft".
1. Loft is an eurodance act from Germany. Loft stands for "Live Our Fathers’ Teaching".
Members are Courtney Dean, St Patrick Williams and Richard Wayne Williams known as Ranking Richie.
Several vocalists were featured like Kim Sanders, Lori Glori, Gina Mohammed and Sandra Steinborn.
Producers were DMP (Michael Eisele and Dietmar Stehle).
Loft released several hits like "Hold On", "Summer Summer", "Love Is Magic", "Mallorca" or "Wake The World" and the albums titled "Wake The World" (1994) and "Future World" (1995).
In 2004, Loft did a come back by remixing "Summer Summer" and one year later, with a new female vocalist called Sue. The new crew recorded the singles "Still No 1" and "Love Can't Be Wrong".
2. The Loft were a short-lived indie rock band founded by Weather Prophets frontman Pete Astor.
Formed in 1980 as The Living Room by Peter Astor (vocals, guitar), Bill Prince (bass), Andy Strickland (guitar) and Dave Morgan (drums), the band changed its name when they discovered a local music venue also called The Living Room. The venue was being run by Alan McGee, with whom The Loft struck up a friendship and played several gigs for. After signing to McGee's fledgling Creation Records label, the debut single "Why Does the Rain?" was issued in 1984. "Up the Hill and Down the Slope" was issued the following year, earning both band and label some critical success.
A national tour as the opening act for The Colourfield was intended to give the band further exposure, but tensions within the band led to a sensational split live onstage of the Hammersmith Palais, on the final date of the tour.
3. LOFT was the project of a North Manchester IDM artist, who released the EPs "Three Settlements Four Ways" and "And Departt From Mono Games". As of 2019 the person behind LOFT discontinued this project and releases under her new name AYA.

The lyrics of Loft's song Hold On encourage the listener to persevere through the tough times and to hold on to what is good in life. The repeated phrase "Hold on, hold on, hold on" serves as a reminder that even when things get difficult, it's important to stay focused and not give up. The singer acknowledges that some of life's needs can drive a person crazy, but stresses that it's important to remember that your life is in your hands and to make the best of it. The song ends with a call to stand up, not to give up the fight, and to keep holding on.
The verses of the song feature a mixture of Reggae and Hip Hop influences, with references to Rastafarianism and a call to live life to the fullest. There is also a call for respect and positivity, as well as a nod to the importance of music to uplift the soul. The use of catchy repetition and rhythmic percussion helps to drive home the message of the song, which is that no matter what challenges we face, we must hold on to hope and the things that make life worth living.

In the nineties, there was a war in my country Bosnia (1992-1995). On radio stations, I listened to the best music ever - Dance 90's. This music eased my difficult war days and aroused great emotions in me. DANCE 90’s, marked my youth in wartime, my first love, my first pain. Dance 90’s was an emotional breath of a time and something like this will never be able to happen again. Dance 90’s helped me escape the harsh reality of war, because it wasn’t just music, it was pure emotion. It is the same today and in 2021. It was a golden age, which I will never forget. Forever in my heart - Dance 90's.
