"1930's music that never felt so modern and loved"
Speak EZ Radio - James James
"Whitton offers more than pretty presentation and a pretty voice. What is especially intriguing about her is an element of strangeness that is uniquely endearing instead of off-putting. Her vocals invite you in for happy story time and concurrently warn you to listen carefully or else." - Jon Hershfield, founder- isgoodmusic.com
"Whitton is the whole package - the rare combination of captivating performer, song stylist, and writer. She knows exactly who she is and she's ready for the spotlight." - Ted Lowe - Choicetracks / Recurrent Records
Whitton is a unique young talent. And she’s got it all - looks, charm, vocals & songwriting ability. Her potential is limitless." - Liz Redwing - (Management & Interscope Records' former music publishing arm)
"Whitton's songs will make you remember why you love listening"
Iceman Steve Phillips, Tiger Radio

Hey Whitton, I like what you've done with your page.... Now that being said, it's probably been awhile since the last visit. None the less, I hope all is well...
“The expression of love, grace and elegance A movement of intimacy, empowerment, romance Riding the crest of an ocean wave Gliding through the air on a breezy day My body on Earth my soul reaches away To Heaven. The religion of rhythm A moth to a candle A key to a slave of Pleasure and pain I take my first emancipated steps Freedom This is my chance. That’s where I go When I Dance.”
