"GINGERBREAD MAN"  THANK YOU NOTES

​

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this holiday groove to life in less than week.

​​

My family — Thank you for believing in me through every stage of this journey. Your constant support, nonstop efforts, and patience made this song possible.

​

Charlotte, North Carolina — Thank you for giving me roots, community, and stages to grow on. From the hospital lobby pianos, to the CLT Airport piano, to open mics, to standing with me through American Idol, and now to the Thanksgiving parade and release of my first song, you’ve shaped my sound and my story.

​

To the musicians and creative team — Thank you for jumping in with heart, hustle, and skill to build this track and its world in record time. A special thank-you to Chip Shearin for stepping in, having faith in me, and helping me bring this to life faster than I ever thought possible.

​

To the parade team — Thank you for giving “Gingerbread Man” its first home and a moment I’ll never forget.

​

To everyone who followed the ingredient countdown — Thank you for your comments, guesses, and laughs made the rollout a blast. You’re officially part of the recipe.

​

And to everyone listening — Thank you for giving this song space in your holiday season. I hope it brings you a smile and a little warmth. 

​

This whole moment has felt like a bit of holiday magic. The kind of magic you can’t plan, but only catch when it shows up. Somehow this song came together in a spark of luck and timing, and once the Gingerbread Man arrived, he and his world refused to wait. My hope is that this holiday groove finds its way into homes around the world and becomes a tradition you look forward to year after year....right, Gingerbread Man?

​

More music is coming.

Stay tuned and have a happy holiday season.
