Band Members:
Influences: My Ma and Pa - for being the first singers I heard from my cot singing 'Mas que Nada' by Sergio Mendes and for encouraging me to sing everywhere and anywhere with no shame just for the fun of it.
All the great Brazilian composers from Mendez,Gil,Caetano,Chico,Milton who carried on composing even under the brutal dictatorship at the time facing death or exile. Some of their protest songs were disguised in love songs so that they could be played on the radio.
Counting Crows for the honesty and sadness of their songs and for making my daughter appreciate the beauty of lyrics.
Jonni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks,Tori Amos,Kate Bush, Suzanne Vega for the incredible emotion in their voices, songs, lyrics.
The Dummies for making me stand up and be noticed, for the noise for the wild times for the pink and blue hair.
Reg Delmontie for his incredible bass playing and for producing my songs.
John Lennon for making me a dreamer and never stop imagining.
The Verve for Richard Ashcrofts' heartfelt songs really writing from that dark place we try to hide and for inspiring me to pick up a guitar and write what is deep down inside.
KT Tunstall for Big Black Horse.
Hendrix, Janis, Nick Drake, Brian Jones, all the flower power people that perished in a cloud of purple haze leaving behind their amazing music to haunt us all to this day.
Sex Pistols for anarchy and balls.
The Killers, Greenday, all the new rock bands my son shares with me and makes me play loud in the car.
All the great unsigned artists I come across on My space and at gigs and all of you who make music from your hearts souls and groins just for the sake of music and nothing else.
