| INFLUENCES |
+ My main influences are the more
'black' parts of music - soul, funk,.. coz I love rhythm and harmonies.
|
| + All time favorite
has always been Tina Turner, not so much
for the songs but for the energy she reveals on stage. |
| + Whitney
Houston is a splendid vocalist. Stevie
Wonder and Curtist Mayfield have
the touch for melodies, Incognito the
touch for moods. |
| + I like Anouk a
lot coz she has power and songs. The same goes out for the Red
Hot Chilli Peppers and Skin. |
| + I find Moloko interesting,
as I do find Kelis and Anastacia.
And I could hear till I die Jamiroquai. |
| + More into pop I like
a lot (shoot me!): Christina Aguilera, Justin
Timberlake, Pink, Beyonce
Knowles and the Black Eyed Peas |
