I won !

I can't believe that I won ! ISSA - Male Vocalist of the Year ! I am so honored. I didn't do this by myself. I had a boat load of help from some incredibly talented people.
Robert Ruby (Los Angeles) my Producer who has an incredible creative mind to bring out music I never thought was possible. Randall Thomas (Los Angeles) who does background vocals and more. He is a magician when it comes to vocals. We have sent hours and hours laughing together. Then there is Russ Paladino (New York City) who is an extraordinary sax (Horns) player who is always ready to push the envelope. He has such an incredible network of players (Like Bill Ware - Played Vibes for us).  Then there is Conor Wharton (Edmonton) from Resonate Music who records my vocals and gave me hours and hours of laughter. He is efficient and such a great talent. Last but not least Audio Animals (UK) who have mastered my music like no one else. They went above and beyond. 
That covers the technical part of winning but there more ... the experiential part which is the fans ! I know that every artist says "My fans are the best" but in my case they truly are. Dedicated and loyal beyond belief ! They voted for me day after day and to me that is dedication. My family who have supported me over the years from my wife to my sister to my family in Louisiana they are always there for me. 
Thank you to ISSA and Tamanie. Tamanie is a force that knows no limits. Starting from nothing she has built an organization that I am honored and humbled to a member ! Thank Tamanie. 
One last note ..... There is more music coming ! 

Bring out the beer
