All the people that have contributed to this project are family to me and have helped me grow towards the person/musician I am today, and for them I’m eternally grateful. Being able to make these 9 tracks with so many talented artists all from different cultural and musical backgrounds is the message of the record itself - Music is MUSIC // and should not be separated into labels and sub context, hopefully you’ll know what I mean after you listen…

Special thanks to:

Aykan Esen: My best friend, and the person who always understands me the most, there is no way this album would be possible or come to life without you. Not only was he involved with 5 of the 9 tracks, but also had a huge say in the conceptual, promotional and cover design aspects. It really is a Family ting brother. Love you endlessly man…

Saygın Özatmaca: My other brother, who took the level of this record to another f*ckin dimension. It may have taken 18 amazing musicians plus myself to create the musical context, but you are the person who gave this album it’s own sound. Thank you so much for your endless patience and for keeping me in it, whenever it looked like I was losing hope or faith with myself or the project. Iyi ki varsin maestro!!!

Selin Dursun: Thank you for the beautiful cover design and promotional videos sis!! Also extremely appreciate you bearing with me through my constant idea changes and funny requests… Hit her up for some great designs, videos and more!!

And of course to my amazing parents, Randy and Aydın, who never cease to amaze me with their endless backing and respect throughout any path I take in this life. The feeling of always having your hands on my back is invaluable, and what makes it all worth it. Love you guys
