"This album is a labor of love, a celebration of the music that brought me here, and a thank-you to every person who鈥檚 been part of this extraordinary journey. Each song on this album tells a chapter of that story. The anthems you鈥檝e loved me for, the ballads that held my heart, and the showstoppers that lit the path forward. This is more than a concert鈥攊t鈥檚 a reminder that you don鈥檛 have to start with much to become something extraordinary.鈥�
