I have always listened to different types of music - since I was a little kid. Everything from country to rock, pysch, new wave, classical, African, punk. People ask me a lot about the country artists that have inspired my music and there are many of them. But a lot of the the inspiration for 'Pony', comes from artists that are sometimes nothing close to country. As a fan of so many genres of music, I think I couldn't help but have those elements creep in to what became the songs for 'Pony'. So here is a list of some of the music that I love - and which probably ended up driving the music that I make today.
