It features more than 15 of the most talented musicians in the Philadelphia area including: Ish Quintero, Matt Bell, DJ Trach Metropolis, Aaron Blouin, and the vocal talents of Bevin Caulfield, Blake Austin, Michael Baker, Alison Polins, AnnaChristie, and Zatina. It was mixed by Renato Quaresma at On Air Studios in Lisbon, Portugal and mastered by the renowned Peter Humphreys of Masterworks.
