To Dwight, Raul wasnât just a talented collaboratorâhe was âone of the dearest soulsâ he had ever known. Their friendship, built across countless shows, thousands of miles on the road, and late-night creative sessions, became a bond that shaped both their musical journeys.
In his emotional tribute, Dwight spoke of Raul with deep gratitude and reverence. He described him as a rare artist, a kind-hearted man, and an endless source of inspiration to everyone who ever shared a stage with him.
