An Open Letter from Shawn Stockman.
Dear Michael McCary, Boyz II Men, Fans, and the Entertainment Community,
As I think on my journey, I am filled with gratitude for the wonderful people who have been a part of my life and work. This letter expresses my heartfelt gratitude for the love, support, and enabling atmosphere that have fostered my development throughout the years.
To Michael, my brother in harmony, our journey began as young dreamers who shared a love of music. Your voice, courage, and spirit have contributed significantly to our tale. Though our paths occasionally differ, our friendship remains unshakeable. Thank you for all the memories and lessons we’ve learnt together. You will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you, Nathan and Wanya, for staying by me through thick and thin. Together, we’ve made timeless songs, survived storms, and celebrated wins. Our path demonstrates the strength of unity and the quest of excellence.
Our fans—the heartbeat of Boyz II Men—your constant support is the gasoline that keeps us going. You have inspired us to sing along at concerts and share our music with new generations. Thank you for believing in us and taking on our aspirations.
To the entertainment community, your advice, collaboration, and open doors have provided me with chances I never dreamed. Your contributions, whether as producers, songwriters, managers, or crew members, have been vital. You’ve helped me grow not only as an artist, but also as a person.
Finally, I want to thank my family, friends, and loved ones for keeping me grounded and reminding me of what actually important. Your sacrifices and affection have made everything possible.
As I continue on my path, I carry all of you with me in every note I sing and stage I walk on. I am dedicated to giving back to the world that has given me so much and honouring the legacy we have created together.
With much love and thanks,
Shawn Stockman
