There are a lot of influences from different countries in my music. For example, I chose the guitar in my music, I think that it is a feminine instrument, so when I do not sing, the music expresses my voice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I were to categorize what I sing, I have many different influences, and a lot of them are from back in time.
My voice is a combination of how I grew up and what I was listening to growing up. I like a lot of different kinds of music and am always being inspired in different ways by different artists for different reasons.
What you find with singers, no matter where they're from, if they have any kind of an accent, the accent tends to disappear when they sing.
I enjoy all aspects of singing and I'm luckily given the choice to be part of different styles of music.
Americans can pretty much sing anything, whereas foreign singers are often limited in style, language, even composer.
I listened to classical guitar and Spanish guitar, as well as jazz guitar players, rock and roll and blues. All of it. I did the same thing with my voice.
A lot of my male vocal influences are British - people like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
I don't sing country music because I'm not capable of singing other kinds of music; I sing it because I think it's the most beautiful kind of music there is.
I find that, maybe because I'm also a singer, I hear music in characters all the time, even if they don't sing. I hear what affects me in my heart.
When I sing along with Britney Spears I will sing in an American accent. But eventually I found my own voice. My songs are so brutally honest, it would be alien to sing in any accent other than my own. Don't get me wrong - I can imitate singers. I can do bar mitzvahs and weddings.
