I listened to all those blues records. They were great – Clapton, John Mayall. Then eventually I heard Genesis with Peter Gabriel, and I didn’t really understand the difference then, but something struck me about the inversions and the diminished chords… they weren’t as bluesy, and I loved it. I found out, that was very baroque-influenced. Yemi Osinbajo
My big influences are Joni Mitchell, and a lot of classical and Indian music, as well as Nina Simone and the personal blues and jazz of Billie Holiday. Other influences for me include Bjork, Nick Drake, and Sufjan Stevens. Yael Naim
