Nina Simone and Chris Stapleton are a couple of her bigger idols.

Gustav Jonsson from Skinnskatteberg is originally a percussionist. He has graduated as a musician from the Bergslagen adult education college and has a long record of playing in many different bands.

He also writes tunes and plays an important part in recording, production and song arrangements.
