WOOD is also set to perform the new single "Hold On" the morning of Wednesday, January 13 on NBC's "Today Show."

"Hold On," Danny Wood's third single from his forthcoming, eagerly anticipated new album Look At Me (Essential Media) is a tender rock ballad that pays homage to his childhood home of Boston and reflects deeply on the loss of his mom, Betty Wood, and how she still lingers within him and remains a guiding light for breast cancer patients around the world. You can check out the video for the song here.

Look At Me features original deeply personal songs written and produced by WOOD, who lives in Miami and is the proud single father of three children, and cites them as a big inspiration in his songwriting. WOOD says the album's about "life, my children, my mother, my experiences. This record is definitely a reflection of the past ten years. The good and bad. My mother's foundation is a big inspiration in my writing. All the breast cancer patients that have passed away, survived, and the ones that are living with this disease. They all have inspired this record." The songs are plaintive and introspective about love and loss, yet exude optimism and hope.
Beyond the videos for singles from Look At Me, Danny is also producing a series of lengthy behind-the-scenes videos called "An Intimate Look" where he takes viewers into his home, the tour bus and backstage with family at a NKOTB show in Miami. Check them out here:
