Jerome:
Where do I start? I’ve crammed a lot into my few years. Let’s just say
“I’ve lived!” I’ve had my knocks along the way but you know what? I
wouldn’t change a single thing… because its all made me who I am today
and gotten me where I always dreamed I’d be.
There have been many people who have helped, influenced and guided me
and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank just a few of them.
First of all, I would like to thank my family, who mean the world to me!
No matter what the future may bring, to you, I will always just be “Romie”,
and I love you for that!!!
I would especially like to thank my mum. Mum, you are the one person in
the world that I can truly rely on.
You’re always there for me and I love you unconditionally.
I would also like to thank my dearly departed nanan (grandmother).
“Nanan, I wish you could see me now…
I know you would be so proud of me. You always said…
“Romie, you’ve got one life, live it … don’t have any regrets. Don’t
wish you had done something in life, just do it”. Well nan, I did it, I
went for it and I’m living my drams right now! I love you and I miss you
so much”.
Britta Friedrich … Not only are you an amazing manager, you’re an
amazing person. Warm loving and giving. I can’t begin to thank you
enough for everythin you have done for us.... You have achieved so much
in your life and now it’s time for Lexington Bridge to take it to the
next level!!!!
AB Glanz Entertainment… The best management company in the world! You
guys work your asses off for us and I want you to know that we truly
appreciate everything you do for us, especially Alexander Escobar!! (Esco)
our tour manager, the 6th member of Lexington Bridge!!.. Thanks for
being patient and having a sense of humour!!.... There are key
requirements when working with LXB, I know we are a nightmare to control
smetimes but you seem to manage!
My extended family at UNIVERSAL MUSIC. I would especially like to thank
Tom Bohne for havin the insight and vision and for taking a chance on
five extremely different wannabe’s. “You have made my dreams a reality
and for that I am eternally grateful”. I would like to thank our A&R
team, Jochen Schuster and Andy Kappel. You guys are the best! Thank you
for being open minded and for listening to our opinions and ideas, we
love you for that.
Our product management team, Johannes and Frank. Thank you for all the
hard work you guys have put in and continue to put into Lexington
Bridge. You guys are family to us!
To all the producers and writers that we have been fortunate enough to
have worked with on this album, thank you so much for making our baby
come to life!!
My boys Rob, Nye, Ephraim and Dax … I couldn’t imagine or would want to
be in a band with anybody else. It’s a pleasure and privilege to stand
side by side with four guys I admire, trust and love and share the name
“ LEXINGTON BRIDGE”. We’re gonna take over the world!!!
Last but by no means least!! I would like to thank our amazing fans.
Without you, none of this would be possible. I just want to say to you
all that anything is possible and dreams really do come true.
Like my nan used to day, “You’ve to one life, live it”. Chase your
dreams.
Love ya Jerome Simeon x
