Industry Quotes: "Rochelle Swift has carved out a niche for herself that I predict will make her very popular in the current music scene. She delivers the songs, the look, the sound – and the attitude -- to be a Joan Jett for a whole new generation." Jason Blume (Owner, Moondream Music Group/Songwriter with cuts by Britney Spears, Jesse McCartney, the Backstreet Boys, the Gipsy Kings) "Wow........!! this little lady is high octane.! Its a long time since I have heard a performer harness so much raw energy and attitude. Great songs, great voice..........Rochelle, for sure, has the goods." James Shipstone. Ex MD. BMG Music Publishing "Working with Rochelle was great fun, as it should be! She knows how to create characters and tell a story that everyone can relate to encapsulated in a well constructed commercial format. I found her to be a total professional and very organised at all times and was not too precious about input from her producers and musicians. These are traits rarely found in young artists these days! Go get 'em Roch!!" Peter Blyton-Producer ( Keith Urban, Divinyls, Choirboys, The Radiators, Michael Hutchence) "Sultry singer/songwriter, Rochelle Swift, is on the move as she serves up a healthy dose of old-school-cool chick rock with sass and sexy abandon. Fans of Chrissy Amphlette will love Rochelle with her deliciously honest and straight-shooting songs. Watch out for the tell-tale glint in her eye as she grabs her audience by the throat and dares you to taste test life - and rock - according to Rochelle." Lisa Butler- Founder/Coordinator Australian Songwriters Conference "Rochelle is a girl on a mission. Dedicating herself to the craft of songwriting and investing heavily in time, effort and training with some of the world's best songcrafting teachers she's showing early signs of becoming a singer songwriter worth following". Zelda Sheldon - NSAI Australia Regional Coordinator and Commercial Songwriter "Rochelle is dynamic, full of energy and a true rock chick. Watch out world if you dont know the Rebel Queen yet for you soon will!
