REVIEWS
Ron Cooper, Zabadak
" From the hymn-like opening.. the gentle, sad voice of the singer girl from Singapore entices.. there will be those who fall in love with J."
Paul Zach, Zach's Trax
"...underrated, underplayed, underheard little gem...a highly polished work of art.."
Peter Hepple, The Stage
"J is genuinely distinctive. Her own songs have a delightful Eastern touch, and she performs them with graceful dance movements."
Monmouth Festival Review
"J gave Monmouth an electric performance of her original music and routines. One song included sign language for the deaf, and it was magical to see.."
Pete Maizitis, ArtistForum.com
"I am moved.. how do you manage to get such depth of feeling from such a young artist?"
