  • Influences

    Rock, a bunch of great piano players, a bit of pop, definitely jazz and a whole lotta of indie stuff. Names? Let's start with Sir Elton John. And here we go: Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Nora Jones, Diana Krall, … More? Living Colour... and Vernon Reid!! Nevertheless... AC/DC. And Deff Leppard. Kiss too. And in spite all of that, … James Taylor and Suzane Vega. Of course John Mayer! And... Smiths, Cure, 10,000 Maniacs, Tracey Thorn, Sugarcubes and Bjork, Cocteau Twins, Eddie Brickell, Sinead, Elvis Costello... Let's talk Jazz now... Ella, Bille and Nina... Tuck and Patty,... Forever Ramones!!, H2O, Sex Pistols, Clash... (yeah!!). And classical... My favorites are Mozart (or the pop idol of classical...), Bach is not a brook - Bach is an ocean... grew up listening to Strauss waltzes (kids like these very melodic stuff, no?), and later in life (when you mature your musical taste buds) Faure, Erik Satie and definitely Rachmaninoff. I am always looking for new stuff to listen to and constantly influenced by “what I heard last week”.
