"Gena is fresh, original, edgy and melodic,...a poet."
Bob Siegel, Siegel Entertainment - 2007
"Gena is Smart, Funny, Edgy and full of honest soul and Passion. And she's beautiful, inside and out. It shines through her, and if you pay attention, you too will see and hear what I heard. A very gifted artist whose heart is hard wired in the open position...exactly the way it should be! She'll make you laugh, cry and maybe even think! And that is what we all need to be better members of the human race...Enjoy her spirit."
RUSSELL MARSLAND, Musician, Songwriter, Teacher - 2006
"Gena Perala is such a talent and completely captivated the audience with her dynamic delivery and presence. Gena not only does spoken word but combines it with singing and is truly a unique and gifted artist. In addition to her talent, Gena was extremely easy and professional to work with and I would highly recommend her to other entertainment buyers for festivals, fairs, concerts and special events and would not hesitate to hire her for any events that I am working on."
JODI SMITH - JLS Ent., Publicist/Entertainment Coordinator Pacific National Exhibition and Harmony Arts Festival - 2006
"Gena is the kind of student every teacher would wish for, hard working, self creating, naturally talented with huge potential. In her I see a rising star with a new kind of intelligence and courage."
SHEINAGH ANDERSON - Teacher/Voice Artist - 2006
"I'm just stunned by the quality of what I'm hearing on your cd. In all my years I can't remember a single friend or artist that achieved what you have the first time without major label support. It's gotta be you! That energy and enthusiasm seem to translate into perpetual forward motion. No loss of time or energy. Always the right connection. Always the most favorable choices. The only negative is that now I have to wait a while for the next one. Darn!"
SANDRO CAMERIN - Teacher/Guitar Player - 2006
"I came to the church of Gena and left a believer, moved to tears from 'Free'. Can't seem to make a lot of sense, still processing the experience. Overwhelmed."
BOBBY BRUCE - Singer - 2004
"It was an honour and a pleasure to have Gena Perala join our 2005 Telus Mobility City Arts Performance at the Pacific National Exhibition. She brought youth, tenacity and innate storytelling to our event. Gena possesses potential beyond her years. She has an intrinsic ability to invoke raw responses from her audience. She doesn't merely present a story; she takes you on a visual journey of words. We would absolutely include Gena in any further performances and gladly offer up our recommendation for this brilliant young artist."
