  • Amazing
    author: Erika Appling

    Astounding, the words flow like velvet off his tongue and catch you with every sylable. This is amazing work.

  • Vejea shows us how it's done.
    author: Fern

    Each track provides layer upon layer of emotional and intellectual stimulation. I catch something new with every listen. Vejea has something for everyone: the verbivores, the linguists, the historians, the activists, the students of the human condition, the sensory deprived, the unaffected and everyone in between. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shake your hips...

  • Vejea has got it together.
    author: David

    Powerful lyrics that come together like somebody was interpreting a beautiful painting into words. Each track has a lot of emotion and the effort and originality is unmistakeable. If you want to hear talent, listen to this cd.
