I was doing some research this morning on the music that the DRB plays at our gigs and I realized something. There is not one bone in my body that isn't a piece of some influential music artist. My stage presence has nothing to do with me... and that's a problem to me.
I don't want people to constantly tell me that I remind them of this person or that.... and while that is a HUGE compliment, I'd rather people say that I'm different on stage and that no one else they've seen lately performs like that.
With Gaga on the scene, it's hard to be any more original than that stageshow...
But overall, my influences are a basic list of the following:
Alecia 'P!nk' Moore,
Brody Dalle (The Distillers, Spinnerette),
Monique Powell (Save Ferris),
Amy Lee (Evanescence),
Pat Benatar,
Etta James,
Steven Tyler (Aerosmith),
Michelle Branch,
Spice Girls,
Axl Rose (Guns N Roses),
Lauryn Hill,
Christina Aguilera,
Lady Gaga
Brad Delp (Boston),
Janis Joplin,
Michael Jackson.
I think that explains a lot about why I sound the way I do. But with all those people influencing me constantly, how am I supposed to find myself in there?
