Bianca was recently featured on Our Stage.com and MTV as one of their “Needle in the Haystack” artists of the week. They described her sound as “tasty” and “rivaling that of Tori Amos and Jewel.” A variety of music and lifestyle blogs have also praised her music.

Speaking about her younger days as a singer, she said, “Bianca says, “Even though I had to wear and sing some pretty ridiculous things in my day, I have to say that those experiences have really shaped me and helped me develop as a singer-songwriter and performer.”
