Influences: I grew up with 4 sisters all enjoying different styles of music. My grandmother was a piano teacher for 50 years. My mother listened to classical..Bach, Mozart, in the kitchen etc. My father was a huge jazz fan and cranked up the volume in our living room. My older sisters listened to everything from Led Zepplin, Jimmy Hendrex, Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabath, The yardbirds, T-Rex, The Who, Deep Purple, The Byrds, The Animals, The Turtles, Mama's & Papas, King Crimson, Jefferson Airplane etc etc..(something different in each bedroom). I loved all the music playing in my home at the same time. My first album purchase was the Beatles. My beautiful sister Tawn Mastrey is world re-known disc jockey launching hundreds of bands. She has influenced me greatly to becoming a singer and is my biggest fan as I am also hers. My favorite singers were Janis Joplin and Billy Holiday, Nina Samone, Marlene Detrich, Mae West, Riki Lee Jones, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Plant, and Jim Morrison, have inspired me to become a singer. Being a vocal coach as well, I'm inspired by my students everyday challenging me to keep my chops up. I could list 100's of new singers who inspire me, but today, Chris Cornell is my favorite singer, and would love to duet with his voice. I listen to everything from heavy metal, R&B, Hip hop, Classical, Jazz, New Age, Raggae, funk, etc. Music has to touch my inner core, whether it's the actual instruments, the emotion of the vocals or the lyrics. It brings me to a place of memory, emotion, love, sex. My music has to bring me to that zone in order for me to feel it and then sing it. Music is a tool for healing the body and soul.
