“I knew I had come across a special talent when I first heard Penka's music: focused, emotional and stirring, a blend of Eastern European melody organically woven into a Western palette. Penka is an artist who deeply commits herself to every project she collaborates on, and delivers tenfold. Her musical talent and people's skills have allowed her to grow exponentially.”
