Who are iNNK?
The members of iNNK comprise UK vocalist, Jon May (29) and New Zealand based musician / composer Ian Shephard (26). After being introduced by a mutual contact, the two began work on writing a solo album, which would later be titled 'Inside Out'. During the production process however, Jon and Ian had to face both of
Christchurch's large earthquakes and aftershocks.
Following February's devastating blow they decided to put their album on hold, to write, record and produce 'Don't Give Up', a dedication song aimed at making as much money as possible for the Red Cross 2011 Earthquake Appeal.

What is the story of ‘Don’t Give Up’?
The track 'Don't Give Up' is written with the Canterbury residents in mind who have lived through the traumas and sufferings of the earthquakes and aftershocks, which still continue to wreak havoc today.
The message of ‘Dont Give Up’ asks those affected to not lose hope. Its times like this where individuals need to stay strong and to know that everyone around them are there to help. If its possible, help and support others where need be.
People who feel they are alone in this time need to know others are thinking of them.
The track hasn’t been written from an outsider’s perspective as both members of iNNK have experienced the full force of both the 7.1 magnitude earthquake on September 4th 2010 and the 6.3 on February 22nd 2011.
The reason behind the upbeat club sound, aside from it sitting inside iNNK’s genre, was to increase the feeling of positivity, unity and raise spirits of the Christchurch residents listening.
