There are many people I want to thank for helping me bring this album to fruition. My mom Natasha Graham Who bought me my first song by Zhane called hey Mr. DJ. and who never questioned my obsession with the 90s or the velvet rope album. Who suffered through every loud kick and snare programmed in our tiny one bedroom, and who would pick me up from engineering school or the recording studio at the crack of dawn. Mommy I love you, THANK YOU. Jean-Yves “Jeeve” Ducornet my partner in crime. Thank you for the many years and the many songs that we have done together. Your talent is astounding and I don’t know what I did to get so lucky to have a partner like you. Josch “Kazual” Lemon you have truly guided and inspired me, and this album would not exist without you. From your incredible writing, to your brilliant harmonies, working with you for close to a decade has been an absolute honor. Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds... What to say to one of the most legendary producers and artists of all time. My friend...You changed the world, just like you sang you could. I truly love you and get giddy every time we work together. Your career your talent and your eye is unparalleled, and I cannot thank you enough or put into words the gratitude I have for you believing in me. Because of you I can win the war... Brett “Leland” McLaughlin...from the second we worked together, I knew what a genius writer you were, and an even more genius artist. I am so excited to be on this journey with you, to support you, to celebrate you, and stand with you. Thank you for being. Mr. Director Darren Genet. You have set fire and inspiration to the creation of the best art I have ever made. You are my partner, my breakthrough and the bar that I consistently have to raise myself to....and the only bull in the ring. Thank you for what cannot be expressed in words, but only understood through the art we create. And I still owe you ;) My bestest friend Roi Hernandez. We fucking did it! Well you did it, like literally did it. All of it haha. It’s your fault you are so damn brilliant and talented. Besides the fact that you are one of the most amazing artists, you are truly one of the most amazing people in the galaxy. You have stood by my side for many years. You are such an incredible creative director. Your guidance and your eye, I would never be able to afford even if I had all the money in the world. Beyond that, you truly are my best friend, and through all the changes from the label to life, you are the consistent. It is so hard to rely on anyone, but you are my family. You will be forever my family. I would do anything for you. You are a part of my foundation, you are my heart. Your eye, your taste, that is what is so deeply valued. That is what is so rare. You will be forever ahead of your time. A huge reason why I wanted to do music this way was because of you. I never wanted to be in a room where anyone questioned your brilliance... I would rather do it alone. I adore you, thank you for giving me the time of day. My managers John Dee and Kevin Gasser. I know I bug you guys a lot, but I really don’t know what I would do without you. John, you know you’re like the Godfather. I see you as such a mover of mountains, that no matter how difficult something is, “John will handle it.” I truly believe in you. Thank you for offering me perspective in an industry that has lost so much of it. Kevin, I so deeply value you and everything you give to me. You think outside of the box... you talk to me multiple times a day...helping me understand the Rubiks cube that is my career. Your grounded outlook and your absolute understanding is some days the only thing that calms me. For many years I didn’t even have a music manager, and now I have the best one ever.
Brett Ruttenberg you are my friend my publicist and honestly just such an absolute pleasure to have in my life. You lighten my world, and showed me an industry that is fun. You inspire me to be brave and to just “try it”. Thank you for everything. I love you. Mari Cardoos Layne you are my friend and my agent. But without you, I could not be the artist that I am today. You have helped me grow in ways that you might never know. You’ve given me access to more people than I could’ve ever dreamed of. You are a huge reason that this album came together like it did. You are a femme fatale, and I would hate to be the motherfucker that ever stands in your way. I love you my ballerina!! T-Boz and Brian thank you for seeing my passion and my enthusiasm and giving me a shot. Tionne, you have fueled my sound sonically subconsciously. Brian, you show me that it’s not all about money, it’s what you do with it, it’s who you are that counts. Thank you both for inspiring me to be a true artist. “Ay BRUCE!!!” Bruce Sterling. There is no other M.D. There is no other way. I had to do this with you. Thank you for letting me stalk you for over 10 years until I could get my shit together. Thank you for allowing me to be the fan of all fans of everything you do and all the music you put together. I am so damn lucky to work with you. You are my family, you are my friend, and I will work with you as long as you’ll have me. My band, Phil “Fish” Fisher, Fredrik S. Halland, Darwin Johnson and Jared Moore. You guys are beyond incredible. I feel so honored every time I get to work with you. Thank you Marc Cleary and Oskar Rodriguez. Started from the bottom now we here! No one knows what we went through all these years to get to this point. No one knows the long conversations and the no sleep or the army of dancers. No one will ever know, so I will just thank you for everything that you have done. Your choreography your vision your direction will continue to live on in every thing that we do. Your friendship your loyalty and your unwavering faith in me, is what gives me the strength to put together an album like this. My dancers Sammye Alix, Shannon Pape, Maygen Nicholson, Laia Ribatallada... Thank you for being my rider dies. I wanted to hire superstars, I got icons. Mario “Perez Hilton” Lavenderia... “you should be called Kat Graham! Kat Graham! That’s what your name should be...” Words from a man far ahead of his time to a young girl on his couch that just shot a pilot of the TV show that you hoped wouldn’t go through so I could do my music haha. You heard the album before everyone. We worked together for so many years. And still to this day you guide me. It was always just about the music. About being fearless. About being strong. About being an activist. You challenge me, you don’t say anything just to appease me. We will be connected forever. Thank you for being my father my mother my friend my brother my fan my partner and a really great fucking guy. Heart U. #Madonna4Ever My mentor, Ivana Chubbuck. My teacher. But really, we both know you are my everything. To treat the song like a monologue...To put your soul into it. That is what you’ve shown me. That is what you had me do and nothing less. Thank you for forcing the honesty out of me. Thank you for being my friend. Brian Ahern thank you for standing by me as my friend and agent. Above all else, it truly is my belief in you that makes me so crazy about going on tour. It is my belief that there is nothing that you can’t do, or height you can’t climb that makes me believe in myself too. If I stand with you, I know I can rise...so you’re kind of stuck with me, but you knew that already ;) Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Thank you Brian. Thank you for always trying for me. I would like to thank BWR, WME, Skip Isley, Maurice Fadida, TLC, Emily Salkin, Lani Tiberghien, Winnie Ma, Morgan Miller, Harold Julian, Larry Shanet, Freak City, Justin Time, Dano Cerny, Lisa Frank, Full Lock Media, Paul Boutin, Jerome Snelling, Justin Maichuk, Jared Eng, Michael Moses, Company 3, and Jai Shukla for all the inspiration, support, and hard work you have done to make this happen.
