her parents support
My mom has been a total hero. She’s always been trying to help me keep on making music, without trying to make me do something I don’t want to do. I met my stepfather when I was four years old and he is the most patient man I know. We spent many nights writing down lyrics up from albums. He plays the electric guitar and nursed me with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and more of the old ones. The Beatles also had something to say, it’s not possible to be born in 1965 and not be affected by them.
