Segments from personal letters and newspaper articles/reviews
“…as soon as I popped it into my CD player and started flipping through the tracks, a number of them started to stand out. But one song in particular caught my attention. It was “Beautiful Man”. We added it into medium rotation on Magic 99, and we received positive emails about it after just a single spin, almost unheard of in radio today. Since then, it has taken over as our #1 requested song. That’s in less than 10 days. It truly has caught fire…”
Kurt Leavins, Program Director
Magic 99, Rawlco Radio Ltd
“That’s the single best vocal performance we’ve had since we went across the country as far as I’m concerned”
Zack Werner, judge
CTV’s Canadian Idol
“…I have listened to your CD many times, and must say it remains fresh after repeated listening, something rare these days. Your songs exhibit great imagination, invention, variety both in musical feel and lyrical content, and most important, a certain beauty…If your live performance skills equal your singing and writing abilities, coupled with your beauty, success should be inevitable…”
Frank Leone, President
Las Vegas Music Union
“…You must be very proud to be included in this exciting competition and I know you will be a wonderful example of the great talent that Saskatchewan has to offer…” (Referring to Canadian Idol)
Lorne Calvert
Premier of Saskatchewan
“…Fun Shows Right Up Kit Kat’s alley…This versatile band adds one part theatre to three parts music…The latest change sees three new up-and-coming talents in the vocal department…there’s already an excellent rapport in the few months since the new vocal trio got involved…”

Lloydminster Meridian Booster article

“…After Kyla sang, Werner (Canadian Idol Judge) stated, ‘That’s the single best vocal performance we’ve had since we went across the country as far as I’m concerned’… She is also leading her own band, which performs Sandulak’s original songs. She will release her first full length CD, Would You Know, when Canadian Idol is over. ‘I’m definitely pursuing a career in music, no matter what,’ said Sandulak. ‘Canadian Idol is the huge cherry on top.’…”
Saskatoon Star Phoenix article
“…She’s easier on the ears – and eyes – than Tyler Hamilton. That’s a plus. Say hello and good luck to Kyla Sandulak…As far as the risk of being saddled with the Canadian Idol stigma for the rest of her career, Sandulak says that was in her mind when she declined to audition for the first Canadian Idol last year, but the way she looks at it, ‘It’s a foot in the door. I’ve been doing this for a few years now and it’s tough to get your stuff out there. We’ve already met so many great people and that’s what it’s so much about, the connections you make. That is why I am stressing the fact that I am already a working musician. Regardless of the competition I am going to keep doing what I’m doing.’…”
