CD Reviews 

Debbie's latest album My Name Is Jesus is her best yet. A variety of styles, great guitar work and other instrumentation, and her voice, as always, carries one along gracefully. Most of all is Debbie's focus on the Lord and his love. She brings God's grace to bear on everyday life. Thank you, Debbie for another great album. Dan Whitley 

I love the variety of genres on her CD My Name Is Jesus...folk, country, jazz, blues...and I LOVE Debbie's rich, mellow vocal tones that remind me often of Joni Mitchell's notes-within-a-note.  I'll listen to this CD if I'm feeling especially defeated. Threaded throughout the songs is the powerful theme of "He lives in me, and I live in Him"....all of Christ's power to love, forgive and persevere is already there for the believer through the Holy Spirit. Comforting and inspiring. And she ends the CD in a song guaranteed to make you smile!  Nancy 

Debbie’s CD My Name Is Jesus could not be more timely with COVID-19 challenging us. Her beautiful voice and message will calm you and make you realize you must rely on Jesus to bring you through the tough times. Beautifully done and very enjoyable! Marge Leber 

Debbie has a love for the Lord that absolutely shines through her music! Judie Spink 

I do believe now and then that Jesus sprinkles a little angel dust on someone and says, “Go tell the world about me.” Debbie Gulino is doing just that. Her beautiful voice and superb guitar playing gently tell you about Jesus. Her CD My Name Is Jesus is a tremendous piece of work and a brilliant piece of artistry. Richard Holten 

Debbie is a true "Rock Star" upon whom God continues to build and strengthen his Church. My Name Is Jesus is an expression of her personal relationship with Him. It’s also an invitation to the listener to join her in sharing God’s love. Debbie sings the Lord’s promises in the jazz ballad "Never is Forever" and gets your feet moving in “GPS”. What she records next is already on God's music sheet. He just has to make time for her to write it all down!  Richard Cory

 

Live Performance Reviews 

Debbie Gulino enters the room as a one-woman show with her equipment, backing tracks, voice and guitar. Then wow!...we sit back and forget the world as we're swept away by her high energy, heartfelt lyrics and passionate singing.  What a blessing to enjoy this God inspired talent! 
Laura Gabor, United Methodist Church & former Director of Music, Upton Lake Christian School

When one seeks to find a Christian musician who is the quintessence of abundant talent, intermixed with the perfect blend of poise, charisma and grace, who brings forth music on the level of any professional musician one could name, one would be hard pressed to find anyone who could come close to the aptitude and proficiency of Debbie Gulino. Look no further, what you sought is here.  Mike Young, worship leader

God has blessed me multiple times through the talents of Debbie Gulino.  Her voice, her musical talent and her heart (which are completely sold out to God) touch all who are in her presence.  As she ministers to others in song, lyric and emotion, she truly is a vessel for the work of the Holy Spirit!  Debra Calvino, former music director Tres Dias Christian Conference

Debbie Gulino is a very talented musician with a heart of gold!  She is versatile, humble, fun and amazing!  She is a blessing in every way!  Gail Quitoni, worship leader & former director Vida Nueva Christian Youth Conference

Debbie Gulino is a talented musician and songwriter, her songs are a true inspiration to me. I always leave her concerts uplifted and reassured of God’s love.  Anne Marie Nauss

The embodiment of talent!  Vern T, Assemblies of God

I have known Debbie Gulino for several years and can say just what a talented Christian woman she is.  I have heard her sing at various venues and have never been disappointed.  I have all of her CD’s and even keep them in my car to listen to as I go to and fro.  I find her very relaxing.  She is a great entertainer and I know everyone will be richly blessed to hear her! 
Lis Tucker

I was so happy that you came to sing for us at our church Christmas Party. Your music is such an inspiration to all of us and you made our evening a wonderful experience. I love how you interacted with the audience by having us participate in the show…dancing, singing, shaking maracas and acting out the kids songs.  A good time was had by all!  Gloria Matranga

 

Worship Leader Reviews

It is a joy and a privilege to be able to lead worship with Debbie when she joins us once a month. The first time I heard her sing and lead worship, not only was I overwhelmed with the spirit, but the entire congregation was moved. The music was infectious- you could not help but sing loudly and with a smile. To hear Debbie share her God given gift of music is truly to be in the presence of a ministry of music. Reverend Matthew Querns

Debbie Gulino is a wonderfully talented musician and singer. She has an amazing voice and her Spirit-led worship is straight from her heart. The first time I heard her sing I was so uplifted I felt like I floated out of church after our worship service. I have her CDs Get Ready Now and The Higher Road. I enjoy all her songs, but the one that really sticks in my head from Get Ready Now is "In Return." Every time I hear it I end up singing it to myself for the rest of the day. The Higher Road CD is very worshipful and really highlights Debbie's beautiful voice.  Anthony Zirilli

The congregation I serve as pastor has had the pleasure and privilege of having Debbie Gulino lead a musical worship service for the past three years.  We have found Debbie to be a faithful servant of God and an accomplished singer/songwriter who effectively communicates with both children and adults through music and the spoken word.  I highly encourage all churches to have Debbie lead worship and share her God-given gift of music.  Reverend David M. Brechter

Thank you for all you do for our church praise team!  Your music and enthusiasm truly touches and inspires me.  I remember when I first heard you sing, I thought, “I would love to hear her sing more often.” So it’s a wonderful gift to be able to hear you every Sunday!!  Thank you for sharing your lovely gift of singing and your remarkable talent!  Colleen Dionisio

 

Nursery School Music Teacher Reviews

We were so blessed to have Ms. Debbie come to Trinity Preschool to play and sing with the children! They absolutely loved her songs! They regularly ask to sing them during our classroom Bible time and for school Chapel. Ms. Debbie was warm, friendly, and very encouraging. She kept the children engaged throughout their time with her. Her songs are very catchy tunes, teaching the listener about nature, and about how God loves and cares for His creation. My 3 year olds at Trinity Preschool enthusiastically recommends "Shake It Up For Jesus"! Cherie O'Hare, teacher at Trinity Preschool

Our preschool has had Miss Debbie (Debbie Gulino) come teach our students for the last two years.  Both times the children were excited to take part in the music program using rhythm sticks and maracas.  The children loved using their whole bodies as they sang, danced, and worshiped the Lord!  We teachers had lots of fun too! Pamela Burns, director of Trinity Preschool

 As owner and director of Sunshine Nursery School, I hired Debbie Gulino as our music teacher. I would highly recommend Debbie as a leader in an early education music program. For five years Debbie taught music, songs and instruments to our students, keeping it fun and interactive. Her ability to enhance our curriculum and be part of our special projects made us stand out as a parent’s school of choice. Debbie’s creativity, talent and ability to engage children is exceptional! Mary Perkins, director Sunshine Nursery School

We love Ms. Debbie at Huguenot Street Cooperative Nursery School! Both the children and the grownups alike thoroughly enjoyed her classes. We especially enjoyed that she brought a great variety of instruments, activities and puppets to bring the songs to life. Ms. Debbie’s calming presence, bright eyes and beautiful voice were just the cherry on top! We can’t wait for the next time she comes to teach us! Damaris David-Betancourt, teacher at HSCNS

 I've had the pleasure of hiring Ms. Debbie for our winter enrichment program for the 6 years that I helped run Huguenot Street Cooperative Nursery School. Ms. Debbie is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to the art of music and music education. She is reliable, punctual, kind, and communicative. She teaches a 10 week music curriculum to our 3 and 4 year olds. She engages the children as soon as she enters, and keeps them interested in the entire lesson with age appropriate songs, music theory, and instruments. If a child happens to become distracted, Ms, Debbie always has a trick up her sleeve to redirect the child without losing focus on the task at hand. She instills her love and knowledge of music into small children with seemingly little effort, but that is only because she is such a pro. Our young children are very lucky to be with her. Carolyn Fulton, parent volunteer HSCNS
