Sarah Hayes
Her song stylings exude personality and it's no wonder. This girl has charisma to spare. And with her innocent and unintentional naiveté, she wins the hearts of all who experience her performance- Michael Andrew, Performer and Broadway Producer (The Nutty Professor)
Her penchant for comedic interplay livens up the dullest occasions. But when she sings the occasional ballad, she leaves the listener mesmerized? Charles Carlini, NY Music producer
