“Pamela's song was a runaway winner...It's the largest margin for a winning song we've ever had, a real testament to the songwriting ability of Ms. Machala.” - Tony Zotta, SongDoor President -
“The piano is the core of her signature soulful and jazzy pop sound. And that sound has helped her find a niche, and plenty of partnerships.” - Steve Graham -
“Machala’s witty, eclectic, and charmingly technical take on piano-pop is catchy, engaging, and thought-provoking all at once. Her stage presence sits somewhere between a cool, laid-back grace and the inner-workings of a pop-mastermind trying not to shine too bright.” - Brody Coronelli -
“Pamela Machala kicks and booms on the keys, and she croons with conviction. She has no anxious inner voice warning her to 'reach the note' or 'nail the transition.' Her songs become her, and when she reaches us, we aren’t quite sure how we feel, but we feel so much. That, to me, is a mark of a great player: one who induces disorientation, who provides the listener a multitude of emotions at once with opposing forces like tumult and serenity, elation and sorrow." - Pete Laffin -

Bio
Singer/songwriter
Pamela Machala ("MOCK-uh-luh") sounds like a warm embrace between the
timeless pop sensibilities of Carole King and the R&B-inspired
harmonies of Stevie Wonder. BolderBeat says of her most recent album, "The grand takeaway from When I Get Home
is this: Pamela Machala is a big, fresh talent to keep an eye
on...Machala’s vocal performances are revelatory…It’s that catchy; it’s
that well executed by Machala, who may be a transcendent talent; and
it’s that well produced." American Songwriter Magazine awarded Machala an Honorable Mention in their July/August 2018 Lyric Contest for her original song "Cardboard Cutout." Westword says,
"Machala's witty, eclectic, and charmingly technical take on piano-pop
is catchy, engaging, and thought-provoking all at once," and nominated
Machala for Best Pop Act of 2019. Machala was also the Grand Prize
winner of the 2019 SongDoor International Songwriting Competition.
