A Word From “The Producer”

“Not much really needs to be said about me; only that I do what I do. The true phenomenon is the dedication and heartfelt sincerity that Calvin has given to this project.

I have been fortunate enough to hear the complete story behind every song, but Calvin has created an atmosphere that has made it possible for the average listener to read between the lines.

Everytime we began to lay down a new song, a ‘true essence’ of his being would be revealed. The relativity of his songs became familiar to me after taking time to focus on the lyrics. There is so much thought, so much love, and so much passion poured into every song that at times it became a very emotional experience for me. Although I had to retain my professionalism as a Producer, a lot of times it was extremely hard to contain my excitement (because you are not supposed to let an artist know how awesome they are).

I found that while working on this project, a refining was taking place within me professionally as well as within the depths of my heart. I think a wise man once said that ‘through music…a healing can take place…’

Thank you, Calvin, for ‘my’ Journey.”
