Influences: I just love great songs, it doesnt matter what kind of music I just wanna hear a good tune and lryics that 'talk' to me!My dad raised me on a healthy diet of Dolly Parton, Elvis, The Bee Gees, Everley Brothers and Sandy Posey. I still like a lot of country music now, but I really fell in love with guitar pop when local group (im from Hull) The Housemartins took off. Its from there I never really looked back - plus I still think Paul Heaton is a great writer today, and Im forever grateful to him for introducing me to Al Green (musically not literally!) and for encouraging me to find my voice :)At the moment Im into everything from The Kaiser Chiefs, KTTunstall, Keane,The Killers, Kelly Clarkson to Dido, Coldplay, Greenday, Gwen Stefani ...arrrh too many to name...and from the past Im still hooked on classics from Blondie, Aimee Mann, 10,000 maniacs, the Clash, Alanis Morisette, The Cranberries, Pretenders....the list is endless!If I had to pick my favourite singer/songwriter without a doubt it would be Carole King - and that surely doesnt need explaining?! xxx
