"Her voice flows like tears of joy and sorrow, there’s a saltiness and warmth of sensuality here that sings the great bitter sweet song of life. Kavisha Mazzella may have the first and last letters of the alphabet in her name but in truth, there’s a power and presence in her stage performance which is simply beyond words." Colum Sands - "Rootin'About" for RTE Radio in Dublin. Folkclub BBC Radio Ulster
"clear and beautiful vocals" Bruce Elder - Sydney Morning Herald
"Mazzella's voice has a wonderful purity of tone and can lift over a melodic line with bell-like, weightless grace." Jessica Nichols -The Age
"her songs have a great sense of melody and lyrical depth..." Jim Lee, Dirty Linen Magazine
"...she sings with the voice of a heartbroken angel..." Victoria Laurie, The Australian
