Influences: I have such a huge range of people that inspire me starting from the great Billie Holiday, Etta James, Candie Staton, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin -I'd say she is at the top, Madonna has been a great business/mental coach for seeing your goal, reaching your goal and then staying at the top by reinvention. Joan Jett, Portishead, Groove Armada, Tori Amos (Of course as I'm a piano player singer) Nikka Costa. Most recently an amazing singer by the name of Angela McClusky with and without Telepopmuzik I definitely suggest checking her out, Debbie Harry has for years been one of my fav's to listen too. Alice Russell's Debut album was brilliant, Angie Stone, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Morcheeba, Bjork, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Minnie Riperton, I love my funk and soul bands Brand New Heavies, Incognito I got to see at the North Sea Jazz Fest. (Holland) which was a life highlight, Although seeing Chaka Chan in Amsterdam was like having fireworks go off in your stomach, Erykah Badu, No Doubt, Bob Marley (the GOD), Curtis Mayfield, Led Zeppelin, Lenny Kravitz, Rickie Lee Jones, Donny Hathaway (I love "A Song For You", Marvin Gaye, Skunk Anansie skin as everyone would know has the most energetic voice, Basement Jaxx, David Bowie I was able to see in Amsterdam too which was brilliant he can still perform like nothing else and with that show I also saw Anouk a Dutch performer who's fab, can't forget the love of my life Pushkin (and Janey) Oh and of course COOPERS

Anyone who’s not afraid to be different..... and damn proud of it! (Zkyeism)
"No I don’t smoke I just know how to use all the FX pedals in my voice"
Life is short,
Break the rules,
Forgive quickly,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.
