She draws her inspiration from some of music's greatest musicians. The singer explains, "Besides my rock and soul influences, I'm into a lot of jazz singers like Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald. I loved the way these singers could scat or riff and I found myself trying to do that with my own voice. That may be why some people think my songs have an R&B element in them." With her all time favorite singer/songwriter being Stevie Wonder, and all of her other influences, its no wonder she's able to come up with her musical masterpiece and debut album, "Little Things." Tracks like "Leave It Inside", "The River" and my personal favorite "The Front Row" make this record a must have. This may be one of most under rated albums to come out so far in 2004 but I guarantee that it's worth every penny you spend on it.
