Dee 's influences............hmm, where do I begin? Madonna was the first major influence on me when I was a young one, I used to dress up as her all the time and sang "Like a Virgin" when I was about 6 in school......the Callan Sisters of Mercy (the nuns) were thrilled with that!!! The early years of my teenage life were the introduction to the music that influenced me greatly and shaped my ear forever.......THE DOORS, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, FAITH NO MORE (MIKE PATTON....MY HERO!), Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Jeff Buckley, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, the ever evolving Madonna, Soundgarden, Bijork, Korn, The Deftones, Gwen Stefani, Bob Marley, Rage Against the Machine, Bob Dylan, even Michael Jackson, And cannot forget the amazing poet Tupac and the talented Jurassic 5, ....also I studied classical piano and music for 12 years so some of the numerous Classical composers that left an imprint on my mind are Vivaldi, Chopin, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Mozart, Beethoven and also AMAZING Irish musicians like Michael McGoldrich, Sinead O Connor, Christy Moore, Thin Lizzy, U2, Therapy, The Pogues, Kerbdog... from my hometown...great moshes back in the day! and The Corrs......to name a few!
Oh yeah.....Dance music.....Break beats, progresive house and hip hop in all their wonderful forms......just gimme a good DJ who loves what he's doin and Im in!
