More than special thanks to those who gave me the most special support:

Carlos Lösch, for being by my side during all events and interviews taking pictures, filming, giving me all support. My love for you is unconditional!

Deliane Paiva and Vivian Benford, cause they believed in my potential and invited me to start working as a columnist at their website, Canções. If it hadn´t been for them perhaps I would have never started it.

Daniel Sepúlveda (Danny Poser), for helping me create the name Hard Blast which is perfect and shows everything I want to express but could only think of words such as “explosion”, “boom”. I wanted a synonym and he gave me the most perfect one.

Luiz Menna, from Canecão, cause he has never denied a pass to Hard Blast, not even when I didn´t have much to show.

Rodrigo Scelza, producer from Rio who had always believed in me and helped me out with interviews, passes and ideas, becoming a part of it all.

André Bonna, Gabriel Grecco, Tiago and Diego Mathias, Paulo Cássio and Gisele from the websites Tô Sem Banda, Revista Música, Universo do Rock and Mundo Rock, for giving me a wonderful space always publishing my articles and opening doors.

Thais Grossi for proposing one of the best partnerships of my life joining Hard Blast with In-Pulse Productions and for being such a special friend.

Márcio Amaral for being my webmaster helping me develop Hard Blast with his creativity and talent.

AND SPECIALLY TO ALL READERS CAUSE WITHOUT YOU I WOULDN´T HAVE ANY REASON TO GO ON WITH THIS WORK.
