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.

Tori and Jewel are just two of the influences on Bianca’s music. She is also influenced by everything from traditional Hymns and other Americana to the Mariachi music of her youth. 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.”
