I have a very varied taste in music. Everything from rap to classical to Latino to Rat Pack to jazz.

You always draw from your roots. I'm influenced by everything I hear and see, and that includes music today, but obviously I go back to my early influences: Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ohio Players, Average White Band. Those kind of artists are what I look to. When I hear that stuff on the radio, I turn it up!

Although my music is electronic, it has a lot of influences from my past, which is all sorts of genres; I've been in a rock-metal band for a long time, and I still feel like, personally, I have a lot of influence from that. My classical influence, you can find spots here and there.

I am a lover of all sorts of different music. I love blues and every piece of music that I have listened to has become an influence.

My taste in music originates from my culture and heritage, and from traveling the world and listening to all kinds of fun sounds and bits.

My big influences are Joni Mitchell, and a lot of classical and Indian music, as well as Nina Simone and the personal blues and jazz of Billie Holiday. Other influences for me include Bjork, Nick Drake, and Sufjan Stevens.

I have a very eclectic taste when it comes to music.

I'm influenced by all types of music.

Musically, I try not to box things in. I try to just play around this spectrum of influences: soul, jazz, and hip-hop.
