Schizophrenic

Well, I believe a few thanks are in order. This record wouldn't have been possible without people who believed in me. What more could you want from friend than what they give from inside, leaving traces of their soul captured in moments for everyone to hear. The people that I'm mentioning on this list are not only people I work with but are also people that I consider my friends and I would like them to know how much I appreciate them and everything they've done for me.

Chris, Joey, Justin and Lance, I love you guys and without ever having you in my life obviously things wouldn't be the same.

Adam and Uncle Phil, I leave it up to you. My destiny is in your capable hands. Carlos, I don't think I could tie my shoes without you, but then again, you would probably make sure I had Velcro just in case.

Alex, Brad, Dallas and Rob. You guys, I don't even know what to say. There is an energy that connects us and I'm thankful for it every day. Blanche, I'm flipping it. BT, it's always my privilege hangin' out. Rockwilder, you are a solid individual whose talent is underrated in my opinion. Stephan, you make beautiful music, brother. Can't wait to do it again.

Simon and Felix (Basement Jaxx), in my experience, that that had to be one of the most interesting and coolest ways to cut a record. Cheers guys!

Tony, my brother, it's about freakin' time we got on a record together!!! Mike Tucker, Josh Williams and Rick Sheppard, thank you for your patience and all the late nights and long hours. To Gregg Arreguin, David Carpenter, Lenny Castro, Martin Flores, Roger Manning, and Eric Schermerhorn, I can't think of anything better than sitting in the studio vibing out and playing something that just feels good. Can you?

To Gregg's other friends and family, I would like you to know what a privilege my experience was being a friend and working with someone so talented and beautiful inside. God bless.

Adam Watkin, brilliant work my friend. Tim Nitz, Keith Cohen and Michael Ross, everything sounds great. Steve Hall and Bernie Grundman, you really took it to the next level. Diana and Biff at FrontPage, I'll see you guys around. Barry Weiss, you're the man now! Tom Carrabba, you keep an eye on things, I'd appreciate it. Clive Calder, what can I say? Your wisdom will always come in handy. Randy Miller, I'll miss you big man. Mark Flaherty, it's up to you. Make it happen. Andy Goldmark, Peter Thea and Steve Lunt, thank you for your faith and letting me extend and push myself as an artist. It's a gift when people trust you. It makes you want to make them look good. Haha!

Tanielle, watch my back, mama. Sonia, clean up your desk. Haha! Gina and Rose, my west side connection. Joe Riccitelli, keep 'em spinnin'. Bob Andersen, keep 'em sellin'. Everyone else at JIVE and BMG Distribution, thank you for all your hard work, it definitely doesn't go unappreciated. It's impossible to make a living without you.

To Lonnie Jones and Jon Elgani, I've never felt safer in my life. Angie, AYAYAYAYAY!! Elan, Frankie and Bernard, thanks for taking on the impossible task of making me look "cool". Jackie and Elisa, I believe that pertains to you as well. Thank you Ellen, thanks for everything you do. BWR, Lisa Kussell and Christina Papadoupolous, Who's this JC kid again?

To all my road dogs...Tim Miller "UGH". Rex Sales, Andy Abad, Errol Cooney, George Johnson, Kevin Randolph, David Cook, and Eric Smith, thank you for your patience. You guys sound better than amazing.

Glenn Erwin, Billy Brett, Barry Steinman and Pyro. Life is a highway. Rosero and Jamal, your vision is dynamic. Nikki, Tara, Chantal, Udee, Karla, Molly, and Gina, thanks for the 110% every time.

Finally, to my remaining friends like Bill Marquez, my partner in musicfreedom.com, the Lao crew, Juan Farmer, Colin Wolf, Jovar and Rukus (because that's kind of a package deal). Lauren, Baby Dre, Dale Godboldo, Robert Daily and Sammy (partners in life), my mother and father, my brother and sister, my extended family, and whomever else I can't think of right now. Although I feel pretty close. Thank you for everything under the sun!!

P.S. God I'm always thinking of you and am thankful for the very existence of existence.
