Influences: Many things and people have influenced me. When I compose music I simply rely on what sounds good. So I guess the question how do I know what sounds good and that I think stems from my musical training as a pianist. When you play classical music or listen to it, each instrument has a line that somehow manages to create synergy with the other lines. Ofcourse there is a theme and that is heard over and over throughout the piece. It is the same with pop music. The theme is the chorus, and the verses and bridge are the other lines that inevitably support the chorus.
My style of singing is my own, depending on what emotions the music stirs up in me, I may sound different on each record but then who doesn't.
Sounds Like: I love a variety of sounds from the smooth moves of a Jazz player to the hard core styles of the dancehall beat. I like rhythm and blues because it really allows the singer the freedom to to use up their vocal range. I love Jazz because of the ability for one to be unpredicatable in their melody lines differently from pop in which the tune is fairly straight forward with some allowance for change.
I am a pianist so I must admitt that I do love classical music and I spent most of myyears listening to just that.
