What They're Saying

“

"I was absolutely delighted with both the vocals and the support that Mella provided for my first ever project. I was very apprehensive about hiring a professional singer and did a lot of research into who would be the best fit. Mella absolutely stood out a mile both in terms of the quality of the vocals and also in the step by step guide she gave even before hiring! During the project, her communication was first class and at all times, I felt like I was being given personal attention which resulted in my song being completed not only quickly, but to very high standard. The melodies and harmonies are excellent and overall, I could not have wished for any more. I would strongly recommend Mella to anyone looking for a first-class vocalist."​

"Mella is truly amazing. Not only supremely talented and the owner of the best-tuned voice I know, with an impeccable sense of pitch, she proves over and over again her commitment to a project once she has taken it on. I am so pleased to have had access to this amazing human being with such an incredible voice and attitude. Thank you, Mella."​

"Mella has proven that talent will always win out. If you have any concerns about using an online session vocalist, put them to rest. There are few more difficult and picayune clients than me and I was stunned at the quality and professionalism Mella provided. Sadly, the option is only to provide 5 stars. She far exceeded that. Each and every concern we had about doing this online has been blown to bits. She could mesmerize you if she was singing the phone book!"​

"Mella is one of the most professional vocalists I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Her voice is incredible, her work ethic amazing, her business practice is on point as well. She worked and communicated with me the entire time so I was comfortable. And her final delivery was more than I could've ever dreamed. I write a lot of songs and if I could afford it, I would use her twice a week. I can't wait to work with her again. Thanks again Mella…..it was an amazing journey."​
