So many things influence me in one way or another. Some might be surprising, but that's OK.

I grew up listening to bands like the Cure, Joy Division, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance - these are the bands that I actually grew up with, and I always had these things in my taste, too. And I always loved industrial music as well: I listened to Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Cabaret Voltaire. And shoegaze bands like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine.

In the mid- to late '70s, there was no one better than ABBA at writing and producing great pop.
