“I was renting this dimly lit room in a flat on third avenue in the almost always foggy Richmond District in San Francisco. That’s where I recorded my first album “Not Afraid “ in my bedroom that was also my music studio and my art studio. I had only one window and it opened on to a wind tunnel and gray wall of the house next door. I painted a sun on a big piece of white card stock and nailed it to the neighbors wall so I would see the sun when I looked out my window. And that’s how Painted Sun Records got it’s name.” - Forest Sun

"... a toe tapping adventure" Matt Kramer (pacific-sun)

"We ask a lot from today’s songwriting minstrels – a catchy melody, a rhythm section which creates energy, but doesn’t overshadow the singer, and words that provoke and inspire. Forest Sun delivers in all these areas and his songs fit right into our mix, both in sound and message.

I can’t imagine how I overlooked him until now.

"The folksy, soulful approach of this Northern California singer-songwriter has drawn comparisons to the early work of Van Morrison. This Sun seems likely to shine on a path of his own." Jim Blum - NPR / Folk Alley credits released November 10, 2016
