May 4, 2025I booked Miss Athene Miss to sing at my husband's birthday/ Album listening party. She sang the full version of 'lift every voice and sing". Her voice is a beautiful instrument! She had everyone's full attention! I could not have chosen a better songstress. Her communication was great! She was prompt, professional and a joy to work with! I definitely look forward to booking her in the future!

August 22, 2013I knew from listening to Athene prior to her engagement at our gathering, that she was the perfect choice. But experiencing her performance in person was even better than I had anticipated. A beautiful voice accompanied by a fabulous keyboardist and a most warm and friendly demeanor during a bittersweet celebration for a departed soul........I honestly could not have asked for more. This is a day we will all remember for a long time to come and Athene's musical contribution was simply divine.
