I have many influences, such as Free, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Jeff Beck, Stuff, Sly & the family stone, Blackfoot, Redbone, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Deep purple, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Rage against the machine, (hed) P.E., Billie Holiday, Freddy King, BB King, Albert King, Bo Diddley, Champion Jack Dupree, Elmore James, Mississipi Fred MCDowell, T-Bone Walker, Johnny Guitar Watson, Son House, but my greatest influence by far, and the reason why I play the drums, is because of the greatest band in the world, Led Zeppelin. When I first heard this band, I knew I wanted to play the drums.
