To the Performers Who Breathe Life into My Music

Your superpower lies in your ability to take the written word and transform it into something alive, something that speaks directly to the soul. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, your passion, and your artistry in bringing my music to life. Every note you play, every phrase you shape, is a gift to my work, and I am profoundly grateful for the way you make it soar.

Your dedication allows my music to live and breathe in the world, and for that, I am eternally thankful.

With deep gratitude,
Paola Marquez
