简介: Please allow me to tell you my story, Five years ago I was making my first album with Grammy winning Producer/Engineer Bob Rosa- the man responsible for advancing such artists as Madonna, N*SNYC, and Mariah Carey. As you can well imagine, as a singer songwriter, this was my dream come true. Shortly after recording had started I fell very ill, with terrible physical complications. For example, suddenly, my left eye had begun to lose sight, while I had gone completely blind in the other. I promise you I barely had enough strength to stand, and felt as if I was dying, slowly, as each hour passed. After many tests, my family and I finally found out the worst: I had Multiple Sclerosis. It is a lonely, terrifying, and frustrating journey you begin when you are told you have a disease, and that there is no cure for you. After the dust of my denial had settled, I came to fear that I would never work again. My producer gave of himself selflessly, like so many integral players, and stuck by me. He took a risk and invited me back to Miami to continue recording. His wife Gerri even surprised me with a ticket back. As time went on many other producers offered to help me complete this dream album like Jimmy Greco (Celion Dion, Jennifer Lopez, Santana) Rudy Hausermann David foster, Rob Zombi) Mark Wilson (Will Smith) Jason Fioto (MTV's Laguna Beach). I felt so blessed that I wanted to help my community; the countless people suffering alongside with me whom want so desperately to help, but don't have a face the public can see, or a name the public knows, or an opportunity to contribute wholeheartedly to finding a cure. I felt called to become a contributor to the Montel Williams MS Foundation and now donate 15% of my net earnings, while the rest largely goes to the expenses of the album. By the grace of his heart, Montel had me on his show in June. Since then, I have received so many messages from fans filled with faith, love, and appreciation for what myself, Montel, and so many wonderful souls are trying to do. It would truthfully only take reading one of these messages I have received from frightened, yet inspired people with MS across the world, for anyone to understand what I have begun to do with my life. Over the past year I have cried tears of gratitude for what a miracle it is, that through faith and research, my sight has returned perfectly, and my project, a life-long mission, was somehow able to be completed. There are older generations ahead of me whom are afflicted with MS that cannot do what I can because the disease modifying drugs are brand new and are far too expensive, elusive, or simply not available to the general public for distribution. These can only be made available through the pooling of research money. However, our plight is that these drugs are not a cure, they are only a treatment. MS is largely neglected, poorly funded, and requires as many trumpets as possible to sound the clarion call. I have come to believe it to be my calling to help, and I truly need your help, so that I might help us. Also on this CD are five bonus tracks previously recorded by Paul from his first EP.
