I've never spoken to Bon Iver, but I would love to. I'm a huge fan!
I used to play violin, but I wasn't very good! I'm starting to learn guitar.
I love Adele and Lykke Li. I also listen to classical music as well.
It's quite hard to have your mom as a teacher - it's like, she's not necessarily a "real teacher" for me. But she'd always teach me to really hear the music, and develop my ear, and to try and hear the harmonics of the piano. That was the main thing.
I wanted to give people a taste of my own music through the sound and style of my covers.
The things I see every day inspire my sound and lyrics, like certain people and situations that stick out in my mind. There are also certain musicians I love whose music and styles inspire me.
