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)
