SUMMONER'S TALES...
"If you have a recognizable sound - a vocal fingerprint, if you like - that's an X-factor. It's not about whether it's good or bad, ultimately. It's how identifiable and unique it is. People may love what they hear or hate what they hear - and all the gradations in between. But they'll always know it's you."
