What People are Saying
"An eclectic blend of melodic and rhythmic elements of Jazz and Rock and Roll with a uniquely contemporary harmonic vocabulary."

"[Belcastro's] music, which fuses elements of rock, jazz, pop, and classical, can seem at once structured and antic, thoughtful and free-wheeling"
- Willa Rohrer, PMP Magazine

"Wow, the mother load on one page!"
- Janelle McCoy, mezzo-soprano

"[Belcastro] traverses cultures from the classical toward blues harmonies and jazz rhythms."
