"Focus is one of the best producers in the game. This LP not only shows you his diversity but the abstract approach to what could be deemed pop (ular) Music is his forte. Never boxed! An outstanding effort and will surely be noticed for someone I believe is far too overlooked."
--Marsha Ambrosius (Floetry, Solo Artist, Songwriter, Producer)

"With 'The Avant Garde Project', Focus... joins the ranks of Timbaland and a long list of other producers-turned-rappers-turned-singers who try their hand at a genre-hopping solo album.  There's one small thing that separates him from everyone else though:  He's really *#cking great at it."
--Phonte (Little Brother, The Foreign Exchange)

"Focus... album is ground breaking, slap you in your face when your not ready type music! WOW!!"
--Dready (producer "The Conglomerate")

"After openly begging Focus... to rap more on records I am now clearly confused as to what I really want him to do. Sing r&b, rock, or rap. Truly multi-talented, truly blessed, truly a talent that shouldn't be ignored by the young or old."
-- Rapper Big Pooh (Little Brother, Solo Artist)

"The Avant Garde Project" project is LIFE-CHANGING music.  In a world full of generic sounds and copy-cat producers, Focus... has found a way to create a project that is so original, so musically excellent, that it can only be described as a gift from GOD.  For any music lover who hears this project, it will be hard to go back to the norm. Then again, that IS  "Avant Garde", isn't it? Irony..."
--Wyldfyer (producer)

"Focus... is the definition of music production at it's finest. His music evokes true emotion, and there's only a few out there doing it like him. Gritty, Progressive and beautiful, "The Avant Garde Project" is a must have."
--!llMind (producer)

"Music is an energy that affects the world. That being said, Music is Focus... "The Avant Garde Project" will infect you. You will listen to it, bob your head to it, learn from and love it. If this is not on your playlist, then you hate music."
--Armando "Mandobeats" Colon (producer)
