  • Influences

    All great acoustic folk,pop,world and jazz music. Christine and Danny are both classically trained musicians and did that early on. Francois and Mathieu are also fine jazz players. Firas came from Syria, and has broad influences from the region. Diana sings in a Gospel Choir and Patti plays almost too many instruments and has her own album out with the group Blue Dance. Early on Christine listened to everything from Prince (whom she is nuts about) to Mozart and everything in between. Her voice has been likened to Kate Bush with sexy shades of Sade. Christine can still belt out great arias when she is not melting the crowds with her sensual world pop.
