This album wouldn’t exist without the people who believed in it before it had a name.
Some held the door open. Some walked through it with me.
Some reminded me who I was when I forgot. This is for all of you.
Rachelle Ruby – For bringing this story to life with authenticity and vulnerability. If you could see yourself the way others do, you'd understand why this album exists.
Taiyo Shirai – For engineering the cosmos and making sure every note landed where it needed to.
George Azzi – For coming back after a decade. It’s beautiful to hear your true voice again.
Substantial – For carrying the lineage forward and delivering the biggest message with a clarity only you could bring.
Masia One – For embodying the Enchantress that seduces all of us. You made her real.
Darius Homayoun – For lending your voice to the interludes and stitching the mythology together.
Jude – For the warning beneath the hope. The one we all need to hear.
Ivan Afandi – For visualizing worlds I could only hear.
Shahram & Faranak Foroughi - For giving me the heart and soul to remember.
Linda Voggenreiter - For navigating me through years of becoming who I was before I forgot.
Adam Fazlur - For teaching me the body remembers what the mind forgets.
Funky DL – For cracking open the door in 2020. You showed me I had something to say.
Vanessa Richard - For giving me the space to go on this journey without ever needing me to ask.
In loving memory of Nousha Hariri, Rumi's biggest disciple. Your voice is still in every line.
Inu Foroughi, see you on the other side my brother.
And to everyone who listens and finds themselves in these tracks:
It's not only about reaching for the stars.
It's remembering you were always one.
