“She knocked the audition out of the park. She's a triple threat, a singer, dancer and actress; she's incredibly talented and unbelievably, ridiculously professional.”
Scott Palmer
“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”
Maya Angelou
“All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity.”
Willa Sibert Cather
“You have different directors, and as a singer you have to be an actress too. It's a fusion-make singers interesting, or this makes an artist actually, the fusion between music and comedienne is together.”
Cecilia Bartoli
“We're still working on it. We've just been on a mammoth hunt for a singer. Because of the singers the three of us have had in the past, it's sort of a big thing to measure anybody by. As for the music itself, it's a really weird cross between northern soul, reggae, New Order, Stones Roses and the Smiths. The three basses work together on a few tracks, which I was delighted about, because everyone was laughing at us for wanting to do it.”
Peter Hook
“Mario Vazquez is a multi-talented, young, American-born Hispanic singer with the voice and charisma that we've been trying to find for a long time. His live audition for us was truly special.”
Clive Davis
“Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music... The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside.”
Rabindranath Tagore
