Influences: this is tough and many people confuse who influenced them with who they listen to,,,,,my biggest influences would have 2 B, "the artist forever known as a pimp"(prince) and a lady out of seattle by the name of pat wright, marvin, donnie and terrence trent and more recently bilal.( wouldnt u love 2 hear B and prince get together?)
then there are artist whom i respect and admire and try my best 2 steal some of their best licks (some more successfully than others) and the ones i listen 2. if they can B considered infulences, i dont know. listen 2 my voice and decide 4 yourself.im a soul singer, so many of the usual suspects;
