Influences: Our dad. He likes to play cowboy songs and the Beatles. There is no getting around the Beatles when talking about influences or Prince as a matter of fact. Philipp and I used to drive all around Chicago and sing along to Prince. Then there is Madonna, Gertrude Stein, our Mother, our sister Anja, her daughter Dora who is also quiet the chanteuse, Edith Piaf, Billy Holiday, Marilyn Monroe, Lotte Lenya, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Annie Lennox. All the grand divas. Our music teachers Mr. Bell, Bart Wolgamot and Sunnie Hikawa who first got us into choral music. Stevie Wonder, we love Stevie Wonder! Silvio RodrÃguez, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Eric Burdon, Sly and the Family Stone, Funkadelic, Parliament. We love funky stuff actually. Then there are our friends that influence us endlessly: Tommy Simatupang, Ben Montgomery, Markus Conrad, Lisa Birman, James Johnston, Michael Smoler, Chelsea Dolinar-Hikawa, Nick Ribaudo . . . this list is infinite, but we don't want to spill all of our insides. We will keep some secrets. Basically we are very influenceable.
Sounds Like: A brother and a sister singing to each other having too much fun and driving their parents crazy. No, crazy for Jane. Our parents love us.
