Mr.Young, Emmanuel, Johnny and Frank - Much love and thanks for the straight and hard work, for your commitment during the long rehearsals and for making Ghana feel like home to me. Without you guys it wouldn't have happened. Let's keep those hits coming. And thank you for all the "banku and fufu" I had the most unbelievable time in Ghana and now I know I have a second home because of you and your families ! God Bless you all. Much love.

RJ, keep that spirited sound pumping, my ears are on you, keep it real ! Now soul sister Lira - never look down, keep your head up coz you're already there sister. Keep smiling that's the best and only way to go forward. I'm very proud of you and I know there are many more hits coming. Robin - my brother from another mother - you're one of a kind - a person with a faithful heart and there are only a few of you on this planet. Keep that warm heart the way it is dude because working with you is truly inspiring - thank you for everything - stay blessed. Eric, working with you was such a pleasure and long may that continue. Steve - the DJ with the beautiful character - always full of happiness and laughter - never sad, and trust me, that's the way forward in life. Stay cool.

To all the musicians who performed on the album – what can I say ? I am indebted to you all for helping me to see this work through to fruition – I hope you are all as proud of it as I am. Thanks.

Throughout the last two years, many people have had an impact on this album and more importantly, on me and my life - to all of you who have endlessly encouraged and supported me, words cannot do you justice, but please believe me when I say "Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.......”
