The time is now. Go learn more about a performer who, "shares a contemporary Eastern European pop musical experience with us, sometimes dark and moody, sometimes light and airy." – Becky Schiele

“Passionate Performance! Strong Melodies!” – Jay Howlett, NCSA, South Bay Open Mic.

“Imagine a Celine Dion, who writes her own material, and like Celine is multi lingual. Gelena, artist and songwriter, shares a contemporary Eastern European pop musical experience with us, sometimes dark and moody, sometimes light and airy. Her songs are a great mixture of styles with classical influences. Her voice is a pleasure to listen to. The project "Dissolve" was produced by Robert Berry. After hearing her records, I can’t wait to hear Gelena in concert!” – Ian Crombie, President of West Coast Songwriters’ Association

“Great music and imagery! Love the mood!” – J. D. Martin, Songwriter, NCSA

“…Naturally a beautiful girl, Gelena, with instantaneous changes of her many bright, artistic costumes, sort of, enhanced and accentuated her own attractiveness, her youthfulness. Her modern song beats and her energy, at times, were reminiscent of a ‘fleeting vision.’ …Her song lyrics were both dramatic, which, by the way, amazed me, as well as entertaining. And about her music, I can only say one thing: Gelena is a wonderful composer. Her melodies are often better, again, according to my opinion, than most modern quick hits. And finally, that evening she was discovered as a well-rounded artistic persona: as a singer, with a strong, bright voice, as an actress, successfully interacting with the audience and her stage partners, as a professional musician, and an extraordinary author – a lyricist and a composer, as a curious designer of costumes and decorations, and of course, as a show director and producer!”
– Leonid Dukhovniy, Music Club Peninsula, West-East, The Russian Weekly

“Remarkable young composer, lyricist, and singer!” – from radio interview, Russian Voice Radio, 1450 AM
