Boundless gratitude to my wife Kendra, my kids Charlie, Milla, Leif and Advaya, my Mom and Dad and my sister and all my incredible friends who’ve helped support me and nurture these gifts I’ve been given to be able to bring this massive project to fruition. There are just too many names to mention, but you know who you are and know that you are a part of this music. It couldn’t have happened without you.
This album is the first in a trio of albums, all recorded at once with one intention and energy behind them, meant to be experienced as one project. It’s been an undertaking like none I’ve ever experienced and likely never will again. I learned an incredible amount about myself through this process, what I’m truly capable of and more importantly, what I have to be okay with not being capable of. It took over four years to complete, but really, the journey started long before that, long before this life. I hope it brings you some light, laughter, tears, anger, empowerment, vulnerability and everything in between. From the depths of my heart and with all my Love …
