"I tell my students, 'I'm here to blow a hole in the myth that singing is easy.' But if we're well trained, we can make it look effortless. Singers are multitaskers; we have to do so many things simultaneously. We've got to breathe, we've got to read, we've got to count, we've got to interpret. And because we're interpreting, we have to use every emotion—we have to be actors. If students are going to study with me, I want them to understand that we're going to deal with the whole spectrum of their emotions. We are the voice of the composer when we sing.

“Lorree K.Slye is a joy to work with because she hears and responds to everything that her musicians play. She supports her natural vocal ability with years of experience AND training, which is a rare combination in the music industry. She has the skill of a true jazz singer and the spiritual sensitivity of a gospel singer, and i believe we have only heard a small portion of what she has to offer.” ~ Reginald Reid, Lorree Slye’s Producer & Keyboardist

“What I really want to do is be an encouraging spirit regardless of what venue I’m in, I want to come in and be a positive force, after being in my presence, I want to make your situation better, a vision of hope, a storyteller, a sincere person that wants to share, I don’t want to be anyone else other than who God made me to be”. ~ Lorree K. Slye
