“She has great instincts, and guts. She is also a rare individual: a talented and charismatic writer and performer.” – Bonnie Hayes, Producer, BonTone Productions (business partner), Songwriter “Love Letter” and “Have A Heart” were recorded on Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time” album.

“I’d say she’s right up there with Norah Jones as far as quality of tone. That’s just something you’re born with. I love working with her! “ – Peter A. Barker, Former Head Engineer, Sony Records. Engineer/Producer/Owner, Threshold Sound+Vision (Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello, Melissa Etheridge, Death Cab for Cutie…)

“Vette’s music projects a calm confidence…You can sense the country, the torch songs, the Cocteau Twins atmospherics, the distanced/distorted production, and how it all comes together… The combination makes the music and performances …intriguingly timeless to my ears.” -Ned Raggett reviewer for the OC Weekly and the All Music Guide

“Her voice is like the time-traveling purr of Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies meeting the sexual-power and attitude of Deborah Harry. Her ability to craft perfect songs makes her a real, rare force to be reckoned with. I hope we get to make another record someday soon, and can’t wait to hear more of what she comes up with.”  – Rob Giles, Producer/Songwriter/Bassist +Singer for the LA-based band, “The Rescues”
