MADOCA™ Music Entertainment: Testimonials
Performance Reviews
Madoca:
This Atlanta-based keyboardist won several awards in her native Japan, and blends jazz, fusion and funk (think Chick Corea). She’s worked with Eric Marienthal, Paul Young and many more and opened for Chris Botti, and tours as a Band with guitarist/singer (and former member of TC Jason S.O.S. Band sideman) The Prince Project.
Madoca and Prince have a beautiful sound and their music was so additive to our rehearsal dinner. They were wonderfully pleasant to work with and followed through on everything they promised. Our only dissappointment was that people toasting the bride and groom talked so long that our time to listen to Madoca and Prince was much less than we'd hoped, but that was certainly not their fault. We've also purchased Madoca's CDs and really love her talent. Again, they are beautiful talented people and we enjoyed them very much.
Laurie J. - Wedding, Dothan, AL (27 Mar 2008)
As most brides we dream of our wedding as little girls, teenagers and young ladies to be a perfect day. We dream of our prince charming, looking like a princess in our wedding gowns, the perfect venue. Once we get to the point of planning our special union day it becomes stressful and we want to know that this once in a lifetime dream comes true. Madoca & Company played a key role in my dream wedding day. I researched many musicians for my special day and found that Madoca had the sound, professionalism and dependability I wanted on my wedding day. If you are looking for great music, reliability and the best jazz music on your event I would recommend Madoca & Company.

We were so delighted with Madoca & Co last week! You made our company holiday party extra special with your choice of musical selections. We hope to make Madoca & Co. a holiday party tradition in the future. I, personally, am thrilled to have a copy of your CD, as well. Cynthia and I enjoyed working with you very much.

Madoca and Prince MADE this party! My guests were thrilled and treated us to some of the most wonderful music -- better than I could have imagined! The song line up was great and these two gave us a fabulous performance! I would recommend them to anyone having a party big or small!

Christie Reese -Affordable Management & Consulting - Private Function at Hyatt Regency, Atlanta GA (6 Jun 2006)
Wow! What a great time Madoca and Prince provided for us at our wedding reception! Their professionalism, fun spirit, and pure talent combined to make a perfect evening. They were such a joy to work with and we were sad to see the evening end. Madoca's piano skills and Prince's beautiful voice proved to work together beautifully. Thank you for an amazing reception!

I wanted you guys to know that I got to see you at the Hyatt Hotel (Windy Hill area). I was there to meet some people for business. Honestly, I almost forgot why I was there because the band was very good. I tried to tell as many people as I could to find you, go see you, check out the web site, and get that CD Thank you for a great evening

Mario Kovarsky - Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta GA (7 Sep 2005)
Madoca: I enjoyed you and Prince at the Chamber Auction. I am excited about opportunities to enjoy your music in the future.
Charlene Bowden - The Chamber Auction, the Gwinnett Center (7 Jan 2006)
They were great for our party. They were extremely flexible with us since our party got rained out initially so we moved the party and music inside. With no hassle they moved inside. Then, the skies cleared and we were able to spend the rest of the party out on our deck. With no hesitation, Madoca and Prince moved their setup to our deck and were instrumental in making our party an absolute success.

CD Reviews
Madoca has absolutely done a fantastic job with "Mysterious Ways". This High-energy disc covers the full range of sounds, while mostly jazz. Madoca expands her compositions by touching them with aspects of fusion, pop and funk to heart wrenching soul. Madoca blends both traditional instruments, as well as, electronic music with her world-class piano and organ. The results are very engaging compositions that are dynamic in creativity and musicianship. "Mysterious Ways"will carry you through a range of sensations and emotions, effortlessly. Seriously, Madoca is playing from the backbone and talking no prisoners with "Mysterious Ways".
Rachelle Bivins - Abyss Jazz Magazine
After listening to the entire list of promotional tracks on the site, I realized at that point that Madoca has a talent that surpasses the standard for jazz artists. With the originality factor and differences in vibes, this project should and I beleive "will" propel Madoca to and though the stars!!!
Lloyd James - CD Baby REVIEW (30 Sep 2005)
Mysterious Ways offers the listener the best of both worlds; smooth, yet technically and musically sound. The mix of sounds, textures and mood altering material is refreshing and different from most piano based artists' offerings. Madoca's playing is impeccable, her musical support team, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Prince Redd and Melvin Miller on trumpet are appropriately complimentary. This is music that is here to stay.
