“This era is ours—and you have a place in it.” For Gary Carriero, that is the invitation at the heart of this chapter of BREAK. The music has a story, and so do the people making it part of their lives.
In his message to listeners, Gary thanks God, the Recording Academy, his family, loved ones, fans, supporters and superfans. Every listen, prayer, encouraging word and share belongs in that thank-you.
“Thank you to the Recording Academy for considering BREAK,” he writes. “To my family, loved ones, fans, supporters, and superfans—thank you for every listen, every prayer, every encouraging word, and every time you’ve shared my music.”
The people who believe in the next chapter
Gary also recognizes Dave Veslocki, his brother and exec partner and founder of Sapphire Records, thanking him for believing in Gary and believing in this next chapter.
That appreciation opens outward to the audience: “And to everybody sharing this moment with me: this is the start of a dream come true. Having you alongside me makes it even more meaningful.”
A place for your voice
Gary is inviting listeners to help shape what he shares next. A live BREAK session, the story behind a lyric, or an acting scene—each offers a different way into his creative world.
There is also a question only listeners can answer: What does BREAK mean in your world? A favorite moment, a new beginning, a memory attached to a listen. Share only what you feel comfortable making public; the team will ask permission before developing an individual story into a separate fan feature.
For longtime supporters and new listeners alike, Gary’s message leaves the door open: “Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or just found the music, I appreciate you.”
The music. The people. The journey. A chapter to share.
