Band Members: Me, just me.....Sooz. I took piano lessons from the age of 6 (that translates to 16 years of piano playing, but I'm no Chopin), sang a little solo in the school play at 7 and was hooked ever since. I've had classical coaching from 13 and like to take a lesson every now and then to iron out the bad habits (chin down bitch!). I write songs (mostly about love and magical lands....no joke, sorry), I sing anything from Radiohead to musical theatre to Queen and even a bit of Gershwin when I feel like it.....you name it, I'll sing it to varying degrees of success.
Influences: Now you're asking for trouble. Well, I'd like to say that I'm totally un-influenced and am incredibly unique, but the truth is just about every musician I've ever heard influences me. In Cyprus I was nick-named L.V (out of that film what's called Little Voice). I personally take most of my cues from Streisand, Freddie Mercury, Jeff Buckley, Pink Floyd, Led Zep and Tori Amos. Gosh, how pretentious.
Sounds Like: On a bad day I sound like a zip. On a good day I sound a bit like Barbra Streisand if she was a bit nervous. I've been compared to Kate Bush, Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey (there's a compliment in there somewhere) and, in my finest hour, was compared to Maria Callas by a massive Callas fan. Then again, I've also been compared to the Scrat from Ice Age and Little My from The Moomins.
