Testimonials
“Louie has always been easy to work with. She's on time, she's energetic and she's not satisfied until the job is done and done well. Louie was a key part of the band, picking up lyrics incredibly quickly and offering and composing original and interesting ideas for backing vocal parts. As the lead for the band I never had to worry about any aspect of her performance as it was always spot on.”

“Louie has sung on a number of my tracks and she is absolutely fantastic. Not only does she have an amazing voice with great tone, range, and vocal flexibility, but she is also incredibly quick to pick up any alterations to the melody or rhythm, which is essential for me when looking for a session vocalist.”
