I prefer to call them "inspirations". Where do I begin?
Originally - many classical composers, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, "Jesus Christ Superstar", Sting, The Beatles, Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan...
Recently - Patty Griffin, Coldplay, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Bill Withers, Mark Knopfler, James Taylor, STING, Eva Cassidy, Marc Broussard, Tom Petty, U2, Jackson Browne, Wayland Patton...
Where do I stop?

(Don't mean to appear "original" but) No one I can think of. Can you?
Born and raised in Russia, Lydia originally made her stand in the U.S. music scene as a lead vocalist and keyboard player for the Grammy-nominated band Bering Strait, which released 2 albums on Universal South Records and was featured in a "60 Minutes" episode, as well as a full-length documentary, "The Ballad Of Bering Strait". The band toured throughout the U.S., sharing the stage with such artists as Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Steve Azar, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Collin Raye, Wynonna, Phil Vassar, B-52s, Ricky Skaggs, Kenny Rogers, Kathy Mattea and Bela Fleck.
Being both a skilled singer and a classically trained pianist, Lydia also generously lent her musical talents to other acts, in the studio and on the road; the most notable contribution was her appearance on “We Are The Same” by Kenny Rogers.
While having developed an appreciation and love for both classical and country music, Lydia eventually found that when it came down to just her and her piano and her writing, she was tapping into quite a different musical place, its flavor being soulful, emotional and highly introspective. She was compelled to leave Bering Strait in 2006 to start searching for her own voice, not that of a singer or a player in a band but that of a solo artist. Between experimenting in the studio and playing live in a trio setting, she began finding it.
Lydia has recently teamed up with Paula Kay at Paula Kay Artist Management, and together they approached Alain Mallet (most known for his production work on Jonatha Brooke’s “Plumb” and “10 Cent Wings”), to produce Lydia’s debut project. Stay tuned!
