October 17, 2016 “Living In America” David Vanderlaan - Fan Your video is pretty damn impressive. I don’t know anything about what is required technically to produce something like that, but it can’t be easy. Thematically, I thought both the song and the images were about the most even-handed treatment of the subject matter I have seen. It’s balanced and encompassing. Congrats!
February 02, 2016 Laz Ibbotson - Station/Company: VFRADIO LTD “Always About You” Very good lyrics and music, will be played on Veterans Families Radio VFRADIO LTD this is a good example of the music we like to promote, well done.

Hello Music Critique - "LIVING IN AMERICA” © 2011 Hello Music We thought your track had rousing energy that moved us as listeners. You sound confident in your musical skills and the parts you're playing.
We felt the instrumental leads on this track were tuneful, interesting and well-articulated. There's no overplaying here, and nothing seems to be lacking either. Spot oN!
