Luther Vandross, Ella Fitzgerald, George Benson, Donnie Hathaway, Fiona Apple, Jill Scott, Elvis, Kem, The Doobie Brothers, Al Jarreau, Chaka Kahn and Common...Influences are ever changing, but that's what you'd be listening too if you borrowed my Ipod.
I waited years for someone to tell me what my sound was, who I should be as a writer, as a singer. I got tired of waiting, and finally asked myself. I was 9 years old when I heard the song "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight and The Pips, and thus my love affair with Soul music was born. As a teenager, I listened to Aretha Franklin sing "Spirit in the Dark" over, and over, and over again, and wished that I could find something in myself that she possessed. I began my professional singing career lured in by the grandeur and elegance of Jazz. Standards have a way transcending generations, allowing the old to reminisce and the new to discover their own meaning in what once was. Finally, I, like many of you, reluctantly admit that I love a good pop song. A song that is simple, a song that is fun, a song that lives inside a summer day, perfect for driving around with the windows rolled down, singing at the top of your lungs. My music...it's Soul, it's Jazz, and because I hope for nothing more than others to sing my songs at the top of their lungs, it's Pop.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
