 "Lou Gentile is a composer of ability and obvious passion. His music is both soulful and has some mystery to it - like you don't     
          know where it's going next.  Michael Whalen   2-time Emmy Award winning Film & Television Composer

         "Louis Gentile is a composer, arranger, orchestrator of very high quality. He also works with great skill and knowledge... I have   
          known Mr. Gentile for the past five years, I have found him to be a young man, who lives and works with high moral and    
           professional standards". Angelo Badalamenti 

         "Louis Gentile is a composer whose versatility is not only different but far more engaging then most. The honest and sensitive nature  
          of his music is far above the norm. Being a first-rate player of all types of guitars and related instruments provides him with a 
          unique advantage for any type of score. After listening to some of his music I actually went away remembering a good portion of it.  
          The high level of production value of his Cds make it clear that Mr. Gentile can provide music for any professional environment”.

             music for your projects". Steve & Rowena Scibelli, Awe films

           "Mr. Gentile is an excellent composer. He is able to compose in many genres with ease. I highly recommend him for your next  
           
             project". Craig Speigelbaum, Composer, News 12 Long Island Sports

           "Lou is a great technical player on guitar and the other fretted instruments he plays. In turn, this allows him to play his music with   
             expression and feeling. In addition to being a refreshing change, his music is still accessible to a mainstream audience".
