After taking a retreat into the woods of the Russian River Valley to write, reflect, and commune with nature and one another, 'Amethyst Journey' was born. The album is a collection of songs that are a combination of our outlook and inspirations - a response to current issues and the state of our planet.
Alanis Morissette - I think she's one of my biggest inspirations.
My favorite style inspirations are between Rihanna and Diana Ross.
I love finding out-of-the-box inspirations and blending them with what I've done in the past. And when I started to experiment with genres, it didn't sound forced. Maybe that's because it's all music that I listened to growing up, and it's all music that I love.
One of my biggest inspirations was Alanis Morissette's 'Jagged Little Pill.'
Inspirations never go in for long engagements; they demand immediate marriage to action.
When I'm writing instrumental music, I try to find musical and non-musical inspirations.
Acting - you're taking someone else's visions and someone else's inspirations, and it's up to you to portray that to everyone watching the film.
Beyonce is one of my inspirations. Her attitude, her style, her voice... she's perfect.
I want to have a record with Beyonce or Lady Gaga. They are both my inspirations. Especially Beyonce.
