I met Kaliq jammin' in front of the Art Institute of Chicago, and my 14 year old son and I were so blown away that we purchased his CD on the spot. We're from Austin and the standards for live music are high, but Kaliq could hold his own with the best cats in town.

Kaliq Woods is an incredible talent. I had the honor of hearing him play in New Orleans. He brought the Jazz from the Windy City to the Big Easy. What a delightful fusion!

• -Melisa

I was visiting Chicago from Houston, TX. THIS DUDE IS AMAZING. I saw him twice while walking around in two days and I was just captivated both times. He really has talent and deserves an opportunity to share it with a larger audience.

• -Lauren

I watch him go from squeaky to the cleanest sounding jazz musician.

• -Ayinde

Kaliq is a truly gifted musician - you rock Kaliq!

A phenomenal talent that's only gotten better with time. He deserves this opportunity.

Kaliq... is one of the best street performers in Chicago! I have seen and heard him play many times. All he needs is that one big break and he will fly high!! Give him that break. He's not on the streets selling drugs or stealing!

Kaliq is the man! Love what he's doing.
