My parents, my children, and any person who has the guts to go out and pursue their passion....whatever that may be. I find following someone in the act of pursuing their passion to be very influencial. There's magic there if you watch, and it inspires and fuels me. My musical influences are many and a wide variety of styles. I'm not a music snob....if I like it, I like it........ Martina, Sara, Faith, Sugarland, Sheryl Crow, Jill Jack, Bonnie Raitt, Winona, Gretchen, Brooks & Dunn, the Muzic Mafia crew (can we join?)Meryl, Willie, Tobie, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Keith Urban, Tom Petty, Dolly Parton, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Dianna Ross, Marvin, Bruce, U2, Frank, the Killers, Mary J., and of course Steven Tyler and Aerosmith.

My vocals are sort of a Sara, Martina, Winona, Gretchen, Faith, & Annie Lennox combo. The music is just plain called "Detroit Country". It's our own combo of country, classic rock and motown.
