Music is the way I breathe... and what do I mean by that? I mean, that the few artists whose music really touches my soul have the ability to bring peace to my world. Thereby they have a great importance in my life because not only do they bring peace in my mind but they also inspire me to improve my own music and to touch other people's lives with music.
Incubus
Incubus has been in my headphones for the longest and they have yet to disappoint me! They are my favorite band because they amaze me by their melodies, sound and overall feel. I love their style and I feel lucky every time I hear one of their songs...
John Mayer
Oh, John john john.. Keep breaking young girls hearts.. I respect John Mayer for his originality and I feel good when I listen to him and his guitar.
India.Arie
This woman has the best voice that I know. She is from Atlanta, GA, and her melodies and lyrics are so universal. Her live performance was one of the best I have experienced. She doesn't sing for fame but definitely for the music. And for love.
Jamie Cullum
What a guy! At his concert at Roskilde Festival in 2005 he was jumping over the piano and playing the strings on the inside of it. He was very entertaining and he is the best out there to mix pop and jaz in his own style.
The Kooks
This band have a great British rock sound. The two songs "Naive" and "Ohh La" are especially great.
Corinne Bailey Rae
This woman's music melts your heart. Her British voice is sexy, sweet like sugar and so unique.
Sia
is so lively in her videos and her newest cd "We Are Born" just makes you happy when you listen to it. Happy groves with catchy choruses.
Miike Snow
This Swedish band have their very own amazing sound. Their songs "Animal" and "Sylvia" are especially amazing. The wonderful base in "Animal" just leaves me speachless.
Amos Lee
This man's voice is just... oh my...! The first song on this cd "Keep it Loose, Keep it tight" just relaxes your every muscle and makes you forget whatever you're doing.
The XX
- are amazing - promise me you listen to them! They just have to be heard - no explanation needed - as simple as their cover!
