Nat King Cole - L.O.V.E. Ella Fitzgerald - Misty
Ella Fitzgerald is a big inspiration for me. Her feeling for jazz/soul is unique. When I listen to hear it feels she is like a motherfigure. Gregory Porter is also a big inspiration. Love his warm voice and his songs really carry his emotion.
It comes from inside. Since I was very young my dad played (and still plays) in a jazz/boogie band and watching him really inspired me to be a musician like he is. My sister and brother are also musical and we support and motivate each other in making music together.
It may sounds cliché, but I truly believe music brings people together. People can easy let go and inspire each other. It's an memorabilia of the time we live in. Making music is important, it's part of history.
Despite it sometimes gives me a lot of nerves, it also fills me with adrenaline, energy. The feeling of completely being yourself and sharing your music with the audience, it's heavenly.
I hope in the future people still create thoughtful and significant music, instead of creating more superficial ones.
A good platform for musicians to get in contact with each other and to share music with the world.
