GARY LEVOX, AKON & DE LA GHETTO JOIN FORCES FOR GENRE-DEFYING SUMMER ANTHEM “HOLD THE UMBRELLA” – OUT NOW

 

NASHVILLE, TN (May 16, 2025) – Today, Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox and GRAMMY-nominated R&B/Pop superstar Akon release their new summer party anthem “Hold The Umbrella” featuring renowned Reggaeton singer De la Ghetto. The track, and its accompanying lyric video, is available now via Big Machine Records. Listen to “Hold The Umbrella” here, and watch the lyric video here.

A track that LeVox has been carefully crafting with producers Rudy Pérez (“The Latin Hit Maker”) and industry vet Mickey Jack Cones (Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Pitbull, Alabama), “Hold The Umbrella” transports listeners to the tropics with its breezy melody and pop-forward instrumentation. The beach-ready song evokes a carefree, fun attitude with the powerhouse trifecta encouraging a lifestyle where nothing gets in the way of the buzz-induced good times. “Hold The Umbrella” was written by Rafael Castillo, Mickey Jack Cones, Tony Martin, Aliaune Akon Thiam and Neil Thrasher.

From an early age I knew music and entertainment were in my blood. I have always been enamored with the idea of being in this industry, though I never wanted to be a front and center "Star". Taking the audience behind the scenes for up close conversations with the artists they love is where I want to be. Life in lyrics has always been my style, so as my favorite country artist Wade Hayes sings, I am living my life and chasing my dreams! Conducting interviews, meeting talented people and sharing stories and adventure are my passion. My new favorite hashtag is #iaskyouanswer, so stay tuned for more interviews, articles and adventures!
