Music:Member Since: 26/03/2006Band Website: www.SANDYKASTEL.com Influences: Every artist or musician I have ever heard, the ones from the past and from today. All genres of music have found a place in my life, from broadway to jazz, blues, soul, country, swing, bebop, hip hop, rap, heavy metal, rhythm & blues, rock, alternative, classical, gaelic, world music and gospel. You name it, I have listened to it and been influenced by it. I have been influenced by performers through various mediums, either onstage, on TV, the internet or in life.Music trickles down into our consciousness and we each receive the message a little differently. We are the connection that makes music ever changing, an evolution of what has been before and what will come tomorrow. My songs are not only a reflection of my own experiences, but the experiences of others, those I have met and those who have effected me in some way.Emotions like love, passion, pain, anger, reflection and soul-searching. Simple things in life, watching a child play, a man or woman following a dream, the reality of growing older, heartache, death of a loved one, reading the news, natural disasters, injustice, walking in nature, laughing, a mother, a father, a child, or old person youth, rebellion, being silly or serious. Just everyday living influences me.There are so many artists who have influenced me. Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughn, Liza Minelli, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, Celine Dion, Tina Turner, Lydia Pense, Ann Lennox, Heart, Jane Oliver, Bonnie Raitt, Patsy Cline, Phoebe Snow, Carole King, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Pam Tillis, Shania Twain, Maria Callas, Sting, Van Halen, Phil Collins, Sammie Hagar, Tim McGraw, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick, Jr. Laura Nyro, Carmen Mc Crae, Lena Horne, Bobby Darin, Trisha Yearwood, Tammy Wynette, Kate Bush, Patrice Rushen, Brenda Russell, The Motels, Melissa Manchester Sounds Like: Copy this code to your website to display this banner!
