This album is dedicated to my beautiful family for inspiring me to write these songs.
To Max, my supportive and loving partner. You are my rock. Thank you for giving me confidence and encouragement. You made this possible caring for our two little blessings, Ruby and Banjo.
Thank you to my parents for your listening along the way and the constructive advice. To my parents-in-law, Val and Lindsay, sincere thanks for your assistance in the care of my little family and helping to make the recording possible. Jean and Clive, my second parents, thank you for your support. Staying with you whilst recording was a very special time.
To all my extended family, friends and clients – thanks for the encouragement to finally record this album. Especially to my Pilates class members for helping me name songs!! Anna and Bree, Ruby and Banjo’s super nannies, you both took such great care of Ruby and Banjo so I could write and record – thank you.
To all the brilliant team of musos, I feel honoured to have shared this music with you. You made my songs come alive! Firstly to the amazing Paul Millard who’s dedication, professionalism and beautiful arrangements made my songs better than I could ever have imagined. To Lee Buddle, your patience, guidance, sense of humour and amazing ear kept me on track and set the nerves at ease.
My dear friend Jeremy Greig , your music has always been an inspiration. Your guidance was invaluable and, as always, your playing amazing. Dave Prior, thank you for agreeing to sing a duet with me and travelling all the way from South Australia to record the track. “I’m comin back at ya baby”.
My dear friend Gavin Carvill, you are like my big brother. All the suggestions at rehearsals were fantastic and live gigs always great fun. Rolan Deutekom, the neck massages, warm honey drinks and general support during recording got me through and I love our piano, didgeridoo and vocal jam sessions!
The photographers - Kara, Hanjie, and Brett, your photos really reflected the stories behind my music. Chris Lewis, movie maker extraordinaire, thanks for recording the great memories.
Thank you sooo much to everyone who worked on this album in so many different ways. Showing confidence in my music and having belief in me means so much.
