On the inspiration for the song “Cadillac” William Dolan says:
“It’s okay to talk about, and even worry about what’s happening in the world. But, you can still enjoy yourself whether you are a kid or an adult. I’m trying to open kids eyes about important issues and help make the world a better place. I hope to do that by paying respect to the civil rights leaders of the past and the present, and remind people that their goal was to make the world a more peaceful place.
Cadillac means that no matter what race you are or how many problems you are encountering you can still find positivity in something and enjoy the moment. It tells you that you can express your thoughts creatively and honestly. It means peace and joy!”
On making the music video:
“Making the video was an amazing experience. It seemed that one minute I was singing the song for the first time, and the next minute I was shooting a music video for it. It was amazing to know that people were so excited to make a video for my song. Seeing people hear the song for the first time and appreciate and understand the message was such a great feeling. One of the main reasons I wrote the song
was so that people would listen to it and pick up on the positivity. Thank you to everyone who participated, especially my producer Roy Hamilton III. It was a lot of fun and I loved doing the Cadillac dance and eating ice cream with the other kids on the beach!”
