DUBAI, 29 OCTOBER 2017
I want to thank the entire team! To Sanya Savia Sequeira and Zaid Shehzad for being there through every step, during the making of the album. For literally managing me and making sure I was on track at all times. This is our album, not mine. To Zubin Aroz and Aaron Henriques for covering my days off from work while I was making the album and travelling, I'll never forget that. To SAE Institute Dubai, Gayathri Ramakrishna and Keiran Bartlett for allowing me to leave work and not having any restrictions imposed on me. Thank you for the support. To Aaron Henriques for taking care of my website and design work. To Bing Ratnapala for the amazing art work. To Hesham Abdul Wahab for the guidance and arranging for all the session musicians in India who played on the album.
To Robert Pereña, Saad Shehzad, Sanya Savia Sequeira and Zaid Shehzad for the 8 music videos we made together. I can't wait to finish the rest of the songs off.
