My biggest influence is my savior - He created me and the world around me, And since I'm so touched by the world and what's beyond it, I have to give credit where credit is due. I truly believe that without God, I wouldn't have this insane desire in me for the beauty, creativity, and release of music, so I thank Him for that as well. He is my happiness.
Aside from that - I am inspired by so much. Everything that I see and hear influences me. If it makes me feel, I want to write a song about it.
People I meet and know. Heartbreak. Nature. Smells. Traffic. Movies. Sadness. Happiness! Boredom. Memories. Weather. My cat. Dreams. Converse shoes. Taking a shower...All these things and a million more influence me to write.
My favorite artists are Eisley, A Fine Frenzy, Sondre Lerche, Marit Larsen, Iron And Wine, Rufus Wainwright, Hanson, Everybody Else, Matt Wertz, Joni Mitchell, Death Cab for Cutie, Copeland, Leeland, Sam Phillips, Sixpence None the Richer, Coldplay, Switchfoot, The Shins, America, Bread, Belle and Sebastian, Jewel, Bedouin Soundclash...there's so many, I could keep going for a long time.
Neye Benziyor?
Something I hope you would like.

22 year old singer/songwriter Randi Ray got her start in music at 11 years old as a drummer for her church’s band. At 15 and with a guitar in hand, she found she could turn the contents of her stacks of journals into songs, and so began her love affair with setting her heart to music. Randi began playing shows throughout the San Francisco Bay Area a few years later with her growing collection of songs, selling her independently recorded acoustic demo cd at every performance. In late December of 2008, Randi was featured in a newspaper article that ran throughout the Bay Area, which was quickly followed up with an album review by Bandsofthebay.com. In recent months, Randi's music has been featured on various websites and Comcast digital cable commercials, and she has appeard on local and nationwide television in interviews and performing her music. One of her independently recorded songs will be released on a folk compilation album (Goin' Back Home) in stores Fall 09, and three original songs have gained radio play in Visalia, CA. A new EP titled "Rush of my Heart" is set to be released in the coming months.
