“I’m proud and honored to have played on Steve Leslie’s "Sonia". I’m a big fan of Steve’s writing, singing, guitar playing, and all around musicianship. I really enjoyed hearing these great songs come to life. Congratulations! Steve on an inspiring piece of work!” 
- Pat Bergeson (Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel, Peter Frampton, Michael McDonald, Bill Frisell, Martin Taylor, Lyle Lovett, Madeleine Peyroux)

“Sonia is a breath of fresh air. When you place a world-class songwriter with excellent musicians and a producer who allows the artist to be him or her self, it’s a winning combination. When that songwriter is also the artist, magic happens.”- Chester Thompson (Frank Zappa, Genesis, Phil Collins, Weather Report, Pointer Sisters)

“Steve is a masterful singer, writer and player. It was a total pleasure working with him on 'Sonia' ”. - Brendan Harkin, Wildwood Recording
