“I don’t have many words right now that can explain how excited and grateful I am about this nomination.  When I stopped playing baseball, I knew that I would become more dedicated to my music. Just to have the chance to sign with Reform Records and create this CD was a tremendous opportunity. Now, to already have my first Latin Grammy nomination from my fellow musicians is beyond anything I could have dreamed.  Last year I was able to attend the Latin Grammy Awards just as a music fan.  I’m elated that this year I can return as part of such an illustrious group of nominees”- Bernie Williams
