Sia has always inspired me to challenge the way that i write and portray the message and in my music. She has such a unique sound and I am in awe of the way she uses her voice to portray emotion and social themes in the community throughout her music. The way her music is produced is also really different each time and her music doesnt sound the same with each album which is something that i aspire to do.

Paramore have influenced me from a young age, the first time that i heard one of their songs was in 2009 when i was 7 years old, and they always find a way to write lyrics that i can relate to. Paramore write such diverse songs and will produce rock songs in one album but in another album they create gentle melodies where they change the focus of the song from the composition to the lyrics.

I have always found Billie's songs to be so powerful and bold and yet she is also able to create such soft, beautiful and subtle melodies/ lyrics that have influenced the way I write and compose my own songs. I am influenced by Billie's ability to record an amazing song from any location as all of her older albums were all recorded and produced in her childhood bedroom.
