NEW YORK - ColoradoDesk -- 2020 has been a year filled with challenges and uncertainty for most of us worldwide. From Covid-19 to civil unrest, massive cancellations of events and rising political tensions, this is definitely a year which will go down in the history books forever. That said, the music somehow never stops for Billboard Top-20 singer-songwriter and music producer, Antoine Dunn.

The project was co-produced by Dunn in New York City alongside Grammy Award Winning producer/ engineer, Scott Jacoby​ ​(John Legend, Jason Mraz, Coldplay).​ The album also received touches by industry vet and well-respected producer/ engineer ​Gary Noble​ ​(Jazmine Sullivan, The Fugees, Amy Winehouse).

At this years Tennessee-based Josie Music Awards, the singer would take home two wins and receive a total of 6 nominations. Dunns wins include, Artist of the Year and Vocalist of the Year in 2020's R&B/ Soul categories. Nominations would include:
