I'm a big fan of piano-based rock music like Elton John, Ben Folds, and even Queen.

My big influences are piano artists like Billy Joel and Elton John.

Bruce Springsteen's a rock star. Elton John is a rock star. I'm a folk musician. Honestly, I think that's true.

I've met Nicole Kidman, Elton John, loads of people.

I'm a big John Woo fan.

My songwriting is so influenced by orchestrated music, dramatic, super glam rock-y stuff. Two of my biggest influences in songwriting were Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
