Influences: A wise woman, (Dolores from The Tea Cup Room in New Orleans) once observed that I learn by osmosis. This translates to me absorbing everything I see and hear and feel and expressing my take on it.
I.T.A.S (Inside The Actors Studio) the TV show is a weekly source of inspiration.
Love and Truth, that tingly sensation you get when every fibre of your being recognises a moment of Truth, and any Artist with the capacity to reveal this.
Also my friends, and my beloved husband (and wonderful guitarist and insightful songwriter) James Lomas.

Sounds Like: I've been accused of sounding like; Chrissy Amphlett, Johnette Napolitano, Patti Smith, Kate Bush, Poly Styrene, Bruce Dickinson, Ethel Merman, Liza Minelli, Janis Joplin...& also of possessing an utterly singular voice. I may have chameleonic qualities, but really I just sound like me.
Mikey Simmons (LA Weekly et al) "Fiona Lee Maynard's voice is not only fab but utterly singular - noone sounds like her."
Martin Jones (In Press) "Fiona Lee Maynard sure has a set of pipes, don't she? The dark power of Patti Smith and the frank attitude of Chrissy Amphlett are among the many things that make her powerful vibrato what it is."
(I stand accused). :-)
