Testimonial from year 2000

"I initially met Sheena at an entertainment venue in Brisbane Australia, in 1994, where she was performing live in her duo, Oracle. Her professionalism and talent led me to request her assistance in producing demonstration recordings, of a number of my original songs. This collaboration has resulted in an enduring songwriting partnership, which has benefited greatly over the years, from Sheena's love of, and dedication to her music. Her professionalism and persistence has resulted in some fine and credible work in both writing and the production studio. In music, where Sheena is concerned, 'the sky is the limit'.

"I've known Sheena for (over) 6 years. Even way back when we first met, Sheena was blowing audiences away. I remember gigs where she'd have the audience chanting her name, even though she was just the backing singer… She's a genuine talent, and someone who sounds BETTER live, in-person than she does on record. She can cut in the studio with the best, but I sincerely believe you have to see her sing live - she kicks butt like no one else."

STUART STUART ( Producer, songwriter, Chart Song Productions )

Dear Sheena,

I wish you well on your newest venture to success and to let you know that I enjoyed the many occasions we sang together live. It was an experience that will stay with me forever and I feel good in the knowledge that people still remember the show and just how great an experience it was for them to hear us sing. The way you attack a song, is something every singer can only dream of doing once… you always make it look so easy. That is because you are always passionate about what you do…

Good luck Sheen,

Kindest Regards,

RICK SZABO (Lead Singer in The Australian Meatloaf Show, Owner / Manager of Nightowl Entertainment)

To Whom It May Concern,

RE: SHEENA MACKIE

This is to certify that I have known Ms Sheena Mackie for many years and believe that she possesses one of the most beautiful, natural singing voices on the planet.

From the moment I met her, it was clear that her fundamental driving force in life was to use her God given vocal talents to teach, inspire and entertain people from all walks of life and ultimately, from all corners of the globe.This has been her dream almost from birth and I loudly applaud her persistent passion in pursuing that dream!

I have had the pleasure of performing both 'live' and on recordings with Sheena… and can attest to the fact that her magnificent four octave plus vocal range is entirely natural and not the result of any studio special effects or gimmickry.

Sheena is truly a 'Singer Extraordinaire!' and I have no hesitation in recommending her talents and integrity to all that share a passion for excellence in life.

Yours Sincerely,

BRIAN HAYES

"Wow, what a singer! How do you hit those high notes".

By Vicki Chrichton

"…we were then treated to the beautiful voice of Sheena Mackie. When her introduction praised her as one of the best vocalists Brian had heard, the nervous giggle let out by Sheena was obviously sheer modesty as the voice and stage presence was such that all in the audience must have agreed, that she did indeed have a stunning voice. Cooroy certainly was fortunate that Sheena came from Brisbane to perform for us in such an intimate atmosphere"
