First I’d like to thank my parents for giving me the freedom to spread my wings as an artist. Your support and encouragement made me the man I am today. Thank you to my best friends, Michael, Katy, Ed, Rick, and Brian - through life’s ups and downs you endlessly inspire me. Eric Podwall, this record literally wouldn’t have happened without you. Thank you for your tireless work and friendship. Rob Mathes - You Killed It...enough said! Elton and Sting, thank you for the great honor of working with you and allowing me to not only sing your songs but sing them with you. A dream come true. Gwyneth, thank you for doing a duet on a song that means so much to me. Thanks to David Massey and everyone at Mercury/Universal for giving me the tools and trusting me to make this record my way. Thank you to all the writers and producers that I worked with. Your time, talent and creativity made this an incredible experience. Lastly, thank you to all the teachers in my life who have inspired me, and to all teachers who dedicate their lives to inspiring kids.
