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: Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Pink and Beyonce Knowles
