Aidan’s emotional hip-hop song, ‘We Ain’t Mad At Ya’, has gained traction with a Canadian suicide support group which plans to use it as a theme song in some of its programmes in Canada, Australia, and the US. The song features a vocal hook by Nicole Desmond, aka N’D, and can be heard on Spotify.

It is a tribute to Aidan, who performs as Burkie, that he has created such an articulate appeal to those experiencing mental health problems — and a tribute to the de Brún family that they are seeking to help others despite their grief.

“For the people left behind by suicide, it’s a lifelong process to deal with the aftermath,” Saoirse de Brún told the Irish Examiner. 

“The song is about how people can support themselves and others.”
