I think I was hearing ABBA being played from the womb. When I think of what music I enjoyed...before I even went to kindergarten ( yes I can remember that)- It's Abba. My family always had recordings of them. While I was in prep-school- I'd go out and get my own records and eventually CDs. When I was younger and my family would visit from New York...I'd play Abba....and my Aunt Jeanie would dance.
When i visited NY...My Aunt Monz would play her Abba records for because she nows love 'em.

Now- I know without a doubt what a Greta influence they have been on me and the way I write and arrange music and specifically vocals [of course there have been other influences...but there's no denying ABBA]
Have a look at some of these videos...LISTEN....LISTEN tothe songs...beautiful...infectious!!
Then Listen to some of my songs and see if you hear the influence!!! LOL
