“Joey Gardner is the architect of the TKA sound. His influence can be heard in every song that we have ever done, whether as TKA or as K7. We learned everything via the experiences that we had in the studio, and he shared his creative inspirations and ideas with us. To me, he is much more than a guide or manager; he is also much more than a producer or a songwriting collaborator; he is a member of the family. Every iteration of this band owes everything to him because we wouldn’t be here if he weren’t.
