Selected Press

“Soucy’s compositional voice is confident and unpredictable, moving fluidly between styles with a kind of effortless grace. …a masterful illusion where every shift in tone or tempo feels both surprising and inevitable.” — Euphony BlogNet June 3 2025

“I went through a full listen before finding out the music was played live, and just then the enjoyment factor immediately quadrupled." -- Rockerama Magazine April 11 2025

“Soucy’s keyboard work is …spiraling, funky, playful, and feverishly precise. His keys race and dart like flickering neon…” — De Ochtenschijn  April 30 2025
