Wrap Up: KKS Presents @ No Vacancy 5/17

Cody Simpson,

Be it a cold winter night by the fireplace, or a fresh autumn walk with natural swaths of colorful leaves kicking about, your voice brings in accolades, giving even the sunshine a run for its warmth. Thank you for headlining the evening and out-brooding the foliage-draped brick patio and shining brighter than the strings of globe-lights glimmering overhead. Also, I have to say, the team you have in place speaks in volumes - they're as solid as it gets, many whom I've become great friends with - all matched in their professional capacity only by the awesomeness of their personalities.

Annabel Jones,

Can I have my heart back? Actually, you keep it (Tyler and Chappy will understand). I'm so delighted the stars aligned and that we were lucky enough to have you perform. The conversation we had upstairs at the end of the night I will never forget. I played it off cool but you almost turned on the waterworks and, trust me, no one wants to see that! Congratulations on the deserved success on new EP and thank you for trusting me to be a part of it. I still remember Evan, Eman and Andrew playing me "IOU" at Chalice and getting chills. I owe YOU.

Ofelia K,

I can still remember our first encounter like it was yesterday. Lunch in West Hollywood, sat by the window, me looking at this sweet-faced girl in awe, you staring back probably questioning who the hell is this guy. Not surprised that after a few minutes, we realized we already knew each other! What a ride it's been since then, huh? I'm so proud to be part of your musical journey and still bordering the line of crazy super fan - the kind that runs on to the stage to touch your arm and gets arrested. I think I can speak for the entire universe when I say you deserve your success because you’re not only brilliant at what you do, but you’re good people.

Jamie Prado,

I think it's proven by the 453,452,124 posts I've written about you that I'm your biggest fan. From the numerous Deee-lite references to wanting to lock you in my basement on that Kathy-Bates-in-Stephen-King’s-Misery level so that I can trap your talent all for myself, it's all love and in the truest form. I honestly don't know what's more electric, your megawatt smile that literally lights up the room or your musical talent. Thanks for being such a great friend and supporter of mine over the years. I love you like a brother.

Thank you all from the bottom of my snare drum. Brent
