You describe your music as bluesy, jazzy and rock. Who are your biggest influencers?<\/p>\n<p>Lee: <em>My biggest influences really range. I grew up with hair metal and classical music. Then Nirvana and Grunge hit and that was my music. Then, I started playing guitar and gravitated to Classic Rock and Blues. But now I really love and am influenced by the musicians and bands I\u2019ve been playing with like Decker and Banana Gun, which are bands out here in AZ<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Cynthia: You recently started a solo career after fronting the band <em>Isle of Essence<\/em>, which opened for some well-known bands.
