In the wake of the recent tragedy in Tumbler Ridge, a young musician from Vancouver Island is using his talent to bring some solace during a dark time.
Thirteen-year-old Kairo Ellis from Cobble Hill is dedicating his music to sending love and support to the community impacted by the heartbreaking events.
Although Kairo didn’t personally know the victims of the mass shooting, the news deeply affected him, resonating with his own experiences of loss.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Kairo felt compelled to share his musical tribute as a way to offer a moment of respite and solidarity. His rendition of Zach Bryan’s “Pink Skies” holds a special significance to him, having been a source of comfort during a previous period of grief.
In an unexpected turn of events, Kairo’s tribute videos have garnered a significant amount of attention, with nearly a million views since their release.
Moved by the courage of 12-year-old Maya Gebala, who bravely defended her classmates during the tragedy and is currently in critical condition, Kairo also dedicated a cover of “Something in the Orange” by Zach Bryan to her.
The impact of his music reached Maya’s hospital room, prompting her mother to express gratitude for the support.
To Maya, Kairo sends a message of strength and resilience, urging her to keep fighting and return to her loved ones.
Through his music, Kairo aims to offer a beacon of hope and unity to a community grappling with profound loss, reminding them that they are not alone in their grief.
