These are some of the voices that helped mold me and are still molding me into who I am today - as a singer, as a woman, as a person:

Jack Dill - my producer, and my push to start recording my original music
Mariah Carey - the first compact disc I ever owned. The first woman to give me an itch to make a CD, too.
Madonna - The original Britney. More than music, she is a dancer. I grew up dancing.
Michael Jackson - Creative genious

Blondie - spotlighting the female in a rock/pop group. I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha
