"An endorsement deal is not just about getting 'free stuff'. To me, it's about forging a link and building a business but fun working relationship. These companies have helped me over the years giving me the best sounding equipment and support to enhance my career. I in return have been an Am'BASS'ador on their behalf as I tour around the world advertising their products. If I didn't love the gear, I WOULDN'T USE IT!

So I'd like to say:"thanks guys for being the best at what you do and always being there" Amlak Tafari.
