"Edon Molla has the ability to be the biggest name in music. His work ethic is absolutely ridiculous. I will never forget meeting him in the summer of 2014. At the time he was working as a porter in the building I lived in and he would see me at 5 Am and beg for me to listen to him sing. No one does that. No one in their right mind wants to sing at 5 Am. I spent the remainder of the summer training him. This boy is special and the world will hear him one day." - Roberta Flack
