• I'm not one to usually give reviews for things, but these two certainly deserve it. Athenia and Devon played at my engagement party recently and they were excellent. They were faced with a unique crowd of people of various ages and managed to show everyone a good time. They played special requests for the kids, a special song for my fiance and I, songs that got all our friends up and dancing, and Athenia was sweet enough to even serenade my elderly grandmother, which absolutely made her day. D.N.A certainly exceeded my expectations and I am happy to have had them share this special day with us. They were very professional and truly talented! -- Brooke G, Fairfield, CT, 7/31/2010
• They were great! Their music repertoire is so current, and Althenia's voice is just so smooth and beautiful. We loved the sound of the steel drum with the songs. Their transitions from song to song needs some polish, but I would DEFNITELY recommend them and use them again! -- Jennifer S, Southampton, NY, 4/2/2011
