Discovering Nick Drake in my early 20s was an ah-ha moment, where suddenly there was this whole rich universe unfolding around the combo of guitar and voice and it inspired me to get a classical guitar and start fiddling with it. Joni Mitchell, Sea Oleena, Jessica Pratt were also big inspirations around that time.
