***Black Flamingo*** - New York, NY
"Madalyn's most outstanding quality isn't her infectious enthusiasm, her boundless energy, her quest for knowledge, or her bottomless font of creative marketing ideas, although she possesses all these attributes in spades. The exceptional thing about Madalyn is her willingness to share all of this with independent musicians, making GoGirls Elite one of the best resources for any up-and-coming artist. Her ideas and motivation are constantly providing me with the impetus I need to keep going in an often challenging industry."
Amy Humphrey, Clatter - Bunceton, MO
"This is Kelly from the alt rock band Pike. We met Madalyn at Chicks Rockfest. In the short time that we have known her she has helped our band in so many ways. She is so passionate about music, and her advice means the world to us!"
Kelly Jarvis, Pike - Cincinnati, OH
"GoGirls Elite is an must-have resource for women musicians. The info, the tips, the support, the sharing, the encouragement...serious sister-power at its best!"
Patti DeRosa, singer-songwriter-guitarist - Boston, MA
"GoGirlsMusic.com's Elite membership is one of the best networking tools I have seen out there for musicians. I call it a tool because YOU have to use it! YOU have to put the time in and take advantage of what GoGirlsMusic's has to offer. If you want to sit back and let a TOOL do the work, you better be prepared to be bored and gain nothing. Imagine a hammer and a nail without the carpenter. Imagine a guitar sitting for years without the artist to play it. (Okay some guitars are pretty to look at). Even if you are not ready to use the tools and get down to business I still recommend joining GoGirls Elite. Even if you just play one show, get one review, get some time with Madalyn or work with other Elite members, you will get a taste of the support that comes from Madalyn and the motivated girls that surround her. And that will lead to inspiration!"
Kelly Z, Kelly's Lot - Los Angeles, CA
"Your missives changed my way of thinking and forced me to take the business seriously and really strategize about what to do for my music. I'm goal-oriented, anyway but realigning myself to accomplishing certain things in a timely manner really hit home. It was especially nice to hear good advice from a girl, because boys can
be so condescending."
Queen Esther - New York, NY
"I just have to say that I am so happy I joined GoGirls!!! All the updates, advice and quotes that I have been receiving daily have touched me and energized me more than you can imagine! Sometimes it's just the tiniest attitude adjustment that makes all the difference in the world and reading things like the daily advice e-mails and inspirational blogs do that for me! So *THANK YOU* Madalyn Sklar for starting such an awesome group and for helping me to keep the fire under my bum and keep chuga chuga choo chooing along!"
Starr Saunders - Oakland, California
"Tony and I want to express what a tremendous resource GoGirls Music has been to our band, 3 Kisses. Madalyn Sklar is wonderful to work with, has put us in contact with many key industry people and is the mastermind behind our killer new website at www.3kisses.com. It doesn't stop there. We recently lost our drummer and thanks to GoGirls, we found a new drummer and a new bass player within a week of posting in the GoGirls discussion group and on the Elite list. Every female musician should be a member of this great organization and if you aren't - do yourself a favor and become an Elite member right away. If you use this resource, you will find no better networking tool for the female indie musician. Big thanks go out to Madalyn for all she has done for 3 Kisses by providing this great service!!!"

With Hollywood in the state it’s in, we really need organizations like GoGirls to make sure a feminine voice in the music world remains loud and clear. And keep going GoGirls..it’s all about going and going and going!!! Make it happen."
Bridget Brigitte, performer and President Bionic Sisters Productions - Rancho Santa Fe, CA
"GoGirls Elite opened doors and made it possible for us to travel everywhere, perform in great places, meet incredibly talented women and artists, and realize opportunities and goals we never imagined possible in our musical careers on an independent level.

"GoGirlsMusic is the epitome of where the music industry should be. Way ahead of its time, it embraces the independent artist movement to the fullest, bridges the gaps between artists, venues and cities across the nation, and provides strength and empowerment to all artists especially female artists whose voices need to be heard. GoGirls Elite is a fantastic support network that not only provides a homogenized way of providing services and news, but teaches us to also give back and acknowledge the efforts that Madalyn has been doing for years. You Go Girl!"
gilli moon, recording and touring poly-media artist, Warrior Girl Music, Aussie ex-pat - Los Angeles, CA
"In addition to being part of a supportive, extensive networking team, GoGirls also offers information that has been helpful to me, almost every day! Madalyn and her staff are the best in creating opportunities, hunting
valuable info, and making sure that her members feel equal and supported.
It's one of the best things I have done as an independent musician on the
scene!"
Grace Millo, singer/songwriter - NYC

"If it weren't for GoGirlsMusic, we would still be playing on Tuesday nights for 3 people. The awesome thing about the GoGirls fanbase is that they are dedicated. They buy merchandise and come back show after show. You can't beat it!"
Denise Gouge of The Googe - Houston, TX
"The music industry today is no longer interested in developing talent. If you fit into the Britney box then you have a minute chance of being the next carbon copy. But this is not practical, nor is it artistic. We can’t rely on the music industry anymore to foster new talent. That’s why Go Girls Music is so awesome! We swap gigs, share invaluable industry advice, and connect in a positive, supportive and non-competitive environment."
Athena Reich, singer/songwriter - New York, NY
