You dropped the Thank You single some days ago. What was the motive?
– After having a successful year and touring the United Kingdom and the
United States and going everywhere for shows, I feel it’s just right
that at the end of the year, I say thank you to my fans that have shown
me love and support. I know it’s just my little way because I can’t go
to everybody and say thank you; so I decided to do a song and appreciate
my fans and friends.
2012 has been a wonderful year for you. How do you feel? -
I’m thankful to God and my fans; they’ve bought my CDs. I’m just on my
first album and I’ve done a lot with it. I feel so blessed and I know
it’s the grace of God, the support of my fans and my hard work.
