My songwriting and my style became more complex as I listened, learned, borrowed and stole and put my music together.
My parents were music lovers and collectors. It was around.
I'm still trying to re-create a Ray Charles concert that I heard when I was fifteen years old, and all my nerve endings were fried and transformed, and electricity shot through me.
I'm not a jazz singer.
I'm easily distracted by other things in the world around me.
I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one.
My first love was the sound of guitar.
