Sample Review -
"The first songstress of the evening, Soraiya, a pixie-like Canadian native opened her set with strong, bluesy chords engulfing the light overhead and making it her own. She illustrated wonderful vocal range with the gentle "And The Spring", hitting such wide variations that I couldn't help but imagine her in the bright lights of Broadway. Not only was Soraiya on point in English, she also harmonized in Spanish causing the savvy ears of the musicians sitting near me to state "Wow, she's good." - Amy June, Cafe Cordiale
