Influences: I started out in a small town in northern England doing what every normal introverted girl did. We listened to Bowie, Kate Bush (stolen from my Mum), The Waterboys, Echo and the Bunnymen, New Order, Duran Duran but only secretly, and god a thousand others that I'd have to call my Mum and have her sort through the vinyl still in my wardrobe and get her to read names. I better not forget Earth Wind and Fire (stolen from my Dad). All of which my family had to suffer through me hanging out of my second story bedroom window singing at the top of my lungs.By the early nineties I was living in Seattle and fell in love with The Breeders, Belly, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, The Pixies, Sonic Youth and The Flaming Lips.Then I went on a bit of a hippy fling and revisited the music of the seventies - let's just say they were good times! Joni Mitchell inspired me to pick up my first guitar.I am partial to only one eighties rock band - no names necessary!! xxx Well there are a couple more.I can't stand it when people say that the music today sucks and it's not what it used to be. Damien Rice, Imogen Heap, Elliot Smith, Black Eyed Peas, The Killers, Yeah yeah yeahs, Gnarls Barkley, Beth Hart, Nikka Costa what's your problem??So I find myself in Nashville and once again I am blessed with new ( to me) music to take me to new places.....Mindy Smith, Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Johnny Cash and Patty Griffin to name but a few.I listen to remember - I sing to forget....
Sounds Like: one moment in time...the day I was writing........the mood I was in........a piece of me.......
