No man is an island, and with that said Fatima and Create Path Works would like to thank the following individuals for their contribution and willingness to share. It is an honor to be in the company of such great creative energy!
Terrence Bolen of New Walk Music. (ASCAP)-Producer This cat is not only is a dear friend and spiritual brother but he is one heck of a producer! Thank you Terry- you believed in this from the very beginning! His tracks are slammin’. His tracks can be heard on Free, Treasure Chest, Daddy Love (he’s singin’ back up on that one), Re-Membering Me, Mirror, Treasure Chest (remix)- that’s him rappin’ too, Home, And I’ll Pray and Preacher Teacher.
Jeff Freeman of L-Bloc Publishing (BMI). This guy is quite a programmer and amazing on the piano and keys. Thank you Jeff for being open and sharing your gift with me. That’s Jeff that you hear on Within. He was able to capture the emotional nature of the song without over doing it. He also did the music for Child of God with Deyon Dobson. Email Jeff at jeph1972@sbcglobal.net or call (310)631-2209
Deyon Dobson of Yon-Ti Music (BMI) – Child Of God…all I know is, I still get goose pimples when I listen to the track! Contact Deyon at (818)439-2585
To all other musicians:
Dave Martin (dhmart@aol.com)- you really helped bring Mirror to life with your guitar. Who knew that when I was moonlighting as an honorary Virgil member that we would someday work together. Thank you. The band helped me fall back in love with music again!
Kenny Alexander (drumcat36@tmail.com)- Your email says it all. You are one drummin’ brotha!
Bryan White (bdubb@tmail.com) - thanks for the bass licks on Mirror!
Takim- not only are you my frat brother but you also can sing your but off. Thank you for being so generous with your time and for singing on Within. Without you I don’t know that I would have been so convincing singing for the purpose of sounding like a dude. All the best with your project! You got next! Oo-oop!
David Neal –Namaskar. David I truly behold the divinity in you. You have such a gift when it comes to the guitar. You have an ear for such beautiful melody. Thank you for helping with Namaskar. It is everything that I hoped it would be.

Thank you for the wonderful insight, ideas, brainstorming and for reminding me to take it easy when I feel compelled to do 50 million things at once. You help me focus. God must really like me a lot and think I’m pretty cool ‘cause he gave me you. (smile)
