What Music Experts Say About Dr. Bera

Sometimes music can inspire and rejuvenate the soul, while at the same time getting the feet tapping and the groove going. Bera's music and voice can do all this and more to the lucky listener that falls within her spell.

Scotty Boyd, LA musician and composer,
founding member of The Brainiacs

 

I Have a Choice! is masterful--Bera at her best! Her pick of songs is tasty, and the recording quality is superb. I highly recommend this lovely and inspirational music to those who have a well-developed sense of beauty.

Vaughn Aubrey, renowned jazz pianist,
 known in circles from San Francisco to New York

 

Through powerful lyrics, an amazing range of vocal styles and superior composition, Bera has succeeded in translating the meaning of total health into music so she can spread the word.

John Setar, National Association of
Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS) member,
studio musician for 45 years

 

Bera is an artist that brandishes her soul behind every note she sings. Her connection with lyric and song is heartfelt--and true.

Christopher DeStefano, programmer and engineer for
Michael Bolton, Aaron Carter, and other notables

 

Even though life's challenges can sometimes seem overwhelming, Bera rises above the fray to share her inspirational music and lyrics in an uplifting and positive way. In I Have a Choice! Bera's courage to share her personal convictions is matched by her lovely voice, accompanied by music of substance and variety. The band arrangements and crisp piano stylings of Beth Ertz are fresh and original. Through her lyrics, Bera transforms her personal experience as an individual and as a member of humanity at large, revealing her own path of growth, and inviting us to rise up and be our best. Kudos to you, Bera!

Marty Jabara, LA producer,
musical director and studio musician

 

Some amazing sounds result from this collaboration with Bera on vocals, her sister Beth on keyboard and her dad Julian singing bass. There's just something real sweet about families harmonizing. I Have a Choice! has great depth, harmonic richness and a deep cohesiveness to the music. It wouldn't surprise me if this CD garners a Grammy® nomination in the Inspirational category. Praise to Bera for putting more inspirational thought out there through songwriting that will resonate with lots of people.

David Orser, owner of AIM Recording Studio,
Tujunga, CA

 

I Have a Choice! made an impression on me the very first time I listened to it. It's highly original and professional. The lyrics are particularly charming, and the musical accompaniment is superb. I simply love Bera's work on this CD.

Hal Alexander, former director of "General Hospital,"
and retired Hollywood movie director

5 out of 5 stars Couldn't be better!
Reviewer: Katie Martinez
This CD contains a mix of song styles - as diverse as the artist herself. Anyone lucky enough to own this CD will listen, and listen again. Bera sings about freedom, heartbreak, strength and love, and is surrounded by talented, and well-chosen back-up artists. Each of the recorded tracks contribute their own unique quality to the CD, but my particular favorites are God Chose an Angel for You, It's so Nice, and God in My Life. This CD goes everywhere with me in my car. Sometimes I just need to hear the voice of an angel.

Upon first hearing this beautiful work of art, my soul was moved to share what I had just heard. My 4 year old Grandaughter was the first and now is an avid fan of the CD as well. She especially loves the Ballads and Broadways tunes. How could anyone not be touched by this empowering, soulful and moving gift to the music world.
