"Here is my impression of ML: If I could use one
word to describe ML... it would be 'Passionate'. Not
many artist have this quality. Oh they may be
talented or motivated by revenue but in time their
musical interests begins to wane. Not so with ML.
For many years, even before my privilege of
knowing & working with him, he has passionately
explored his inner soul. What he discovered was a
world of creativity. Creativity which cannot be
categorized into something created by others or
standardized by a group of self-proclaimed critics.
He puts not only his talent to use but also his soul
into every word, every melody. With each note you
hear you feel his heartbeat... Listen carefully!"

"What has always stood out to me about ML, even beyond his musicianship, is the fact that he is
truly a special human being. He has a heart of gold, extreme confidence in himself and his
creative vision, and a unique sensitivity. All of this shines through in his artistry, whether
written or heard, and gives everything he does an honesty of expression that few can ever truly
achieve. I am eternally grateful for the time he spent with Soulganic, as his contributions helped
shape what the band has become. Above all, though, I am honored to call him my friend and
brother, which is a bond that extends beyond the sonic boundaries of this life."

"Your shows are excellent! You really do your thing
and each performance gets even more exciting.
I can't wait on your CD to drop because I didn't even
want to listen to the 'bubble gum' sound on the
radio! It will be nice to still hear the sounds of ML
Caldwell when we leave a show..."

"ML - Two words...Talented & Approachable. I've never met a band leader who is so down to
earth and genuinely wants the input of his listeners. He sounds crisp and clean every time,
whether he's singing, playing the guitar or killing the keyboard. The first night I heard the
band play I went up to him, just to let him know I appreciated and respected his music as I do
any artist. Musical courtesy I call it. He turned to me and said 'Thank you, my sister, you don't
know how much it means to me. It keeps me level headed.' Have you ever heard a band
member say that?! I haven't!"

"ML Caldwell has been my friend forever. He even gave me my
name back in the early 90's. The only way I can describe him to
others is to tell them he is Marvin Gaye, Prince, Teddy Pendergrass,
D'Angelo, & Stevie Wonder all rolled into one!

"When I hear ML Caldwell's music, I hear the original R&B of
days long past. I hear the groove of Marvin Gaye, the soul of
Aretha Franklin, the energy of Booker T. & the MG's, and all
sorts of soul!"
