"Carmela is an absolutely wonderful and refreshing artist with a sound that’s unique and hard to pin down yet goes down smooth. For lack of better labels, the style is indie/pop in the general sense, with Carmela’s tremendously versatile tastes informing the nuances of her sound." - Max Fruchtman - Sound Engineer
"Carmela Antonio is charming listeners with a more authentic approach developed on her own terms." - Roseline Mouana - GUERILLA MAG

There’s no shortage of talent with singer-songwriter Carmela Antonio. Rooted in an indie-pop/RnB sound effortlessly combined with elements of hip-hop, dub, and world influences, Antonio delivered powerfully sweet vocals-equally soulful and edgy-radiating an onstage charisma and sass to a receptive audience. Backed by musicians on conga drums and keyboards, she performed enticing, energy-fueled songs highlighted by a three song medley and a dedication to her grandfather. Embracing a feisty attitude and dynamic presence, this talented songstress is clearly worthy of more attention. - Lonely Vagabond
