The Story Behind "Looking for Paradise"

"We're all looking for something...that's what connects us"- Alicia Keys
I oftened wondered what makes this company so special... The story behind this song made me realize it is all about families, creating friendships, bringing people together and actually helping people find their own "Paradise". I hope you enjoy the story behind this song which was inspired by the sincerity of a couple who become friends with everyone they meet. Perhaps this story and song will spark something in you like it has for millions who have heard it; and for many of us who have been inspired by Loren and JR and the opportunity they brought to the world to help us all look for our "Paradise".

Obviously Alajadro Sanz and Alicia Keys were just as inspired! 

Serendipity brought them together. A twilight cruise on the Utopia III with mutual friends Loren and JR Ridinger, the breezy Miami air, and a shared love for music became a magical recipe for paradise for Alejandro Sanz and Alicia Keys. Alejandro strummed his guitar while Alicia hummed an intoxicating melody—one which would eventually evolve into “Looking for Paradise”, a song with the ability to transcend culture and language and speak to humanity and our common search for paradise: a place as authentic as it is uplifting.
