Agradezco en primer lugar al Consejo Nacional de las Artes que confió en mis capacidades aportando para que este disco se materializara.
A los fabulosos interpretes que con sus voces llevaron mis obras de una letra en un papel hasta lo mas alto y hermoso.
A los numerosos instrumentistas que humildemente dieron lo mejor, poniendo el corazón en cada nota. (especialmente por estar en todas a : Pablo Villegas, Andrés Pérez, José Antonio Ortega, Jimmy Fernandez, Francisca Moraga, Americo Olivari y Patricio Álvarez que estuvo en un comienzo).
A Jaime Solis de Ovando y a las personas que realizaron el trabajo de arte y de video pacientemente.
También en especial a Jucelia Sophia y a mis cercanos quienes me han aportado con su cariño por siempre y a quienes amo. Y a todos los artistas que me han inspirado moldeando mi obra dia a dia.
Son muchas las personas que me han ayudado y ellos saben quienes son.
