“I downloaded “Once Upon A Dream” from Sellaband and heard it many times. It is one of the most precious additions to my music collection. You are a jewel! If I had been aware of the project, I would have been your believer. The CD is a unique release with a meaningful concept. I really like the wide range of emotionally different songs with your truly outstanding voice as the common denominator.” xo, Max (Switzerland)
