How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Its good for exposure but with more exposure there are security issues that need to be addressed.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but it has to be a really good offer!
Your influences?
I really had alot of Madonna, Eurythmics, Beatles, Janet Jackson influences. As a few years passed, I grew found of Mika, Celine Dion andThe Band LIVE. Ever since I was a little girl there was rock, opera, and classical music playing in the house, but I loved to sing pop music out loud. There is so many talented musical artist that influenced me...the list is so long, that I don't think we have enough time.
Anything else...?
