The most common misconception about me is that I'm basically a jazz singer.

I'm not a folk or jazz singer, more a hard-edged pop singer - with some rock, and song hooks.

Give me a strapless gown and a rhinestone-studded guitar and some 55-year-olds in my audience, along with their kids and grandkids. Don't give me 'boogie'!

I wanted to be the greatest woman guitarist alive. I had fantasies about being a female Jimi Hendrix.

I'm not a jazz singer.

One doesn't have to scat to be a jazz singer.
