After a decade of delivering some truly influential tunes in the dance music scene, renowned producer Pierce Fulton has tragically passed away after struggling in his battle with mental health. The heartbreaking news was shared earlier today by his older brother, Griff, who posted a heartfelt video in remembrance on Pierce Fulton’s account that was paired with a personal message as well.
“Pierce was so incredibly full of life, love & unimaginable creativity. He was kind, caring, thoughtful, silly & sweet. The most magical person that we were all so blessed to know, hear & see,” said Griff of his brother. “He was an expert at absolutely anything he set his mind to & had this incredible ability to retain knowledge unlike anyone I’ve ever known. The only word that truly can describe his abilities is genius.”
Griff went on to encourage others who are struggling to trust their intuition, speak up about their feelings, and to reach out for help. “I ask that all of you focus your energy towards the future, towards making a difference through love & compassion, towards staying in touch with the people close to you, towards learning & understanding more about what so many of us might be going through, often hidden deep beneath so many layers,” he said.
