Amazing creativity.”  ~ ART Hound

Ayla Nereo’s voice was shocking… beautiful.”  ~ Tiny Mix Tapes

Sparingly utilizing delicate finger-plucking methods and the occasional piano, chimes, and violin, the lucid instrument here is Ayla’s voice… a mechanism dedicated to the running consciousness of her lyrics – their enchanted visions like a fantastical child drinking in her surroundings and blooming ideas.”  ~ The Deli SF

Something that actually matters… Good music.” ~ Laughing Evergreens

Her voice blossoms.“  ~ The Bay Bridged
