As a kid, I was listening to Aretha Franklin, Etta James and hip-hop as well as music my parents were listening to, like Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.

I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.

I listen to a lot of old music, like Joni Mitchell and David Bowie.

I am multiracial, and I went through different phases - at one point, I listened to Wu-Tang and hip-hop, and then the next year I listened to Joni Mitchell.

I did want to be Joni Mitchell for quite a long time.

I would make tea for Joni Mitchell or clean her car, anything to be in the studio and watch her work.
