“Holly’s lovely soprano voice is a joy to behold. Her excellent ear and blend with other singers makes doing sessions with her a breeze. I could say a lot about Holly, but perhaps the best is that her voice just makes me feel good.”
Bobby Owsinski – Author, Television, and Music Producer, Mixing and Recording Engineer.
