Lykke Li Music Quotations

When I was very little, I was into Michael Jackson. At six or seven, it was Madonna, but she's not what she used to be. I've been into everything from Edith Piaf to Joe Strummer to the Velvet Underground to Suicide to A Tribe Called Quest to African music.

Music and fashion are a sign of the times and a reflection of what people want and need at this very day and age.

Where I've been hasn't influenced my music. It's more what I listen to. You can find music everywhere, so moving hasn't really influenced my music, more me as a person.

Mum is a photographer, and Dad does world music and plays almost every instrument except for drums.

The music that I listen to is very minimalistic. I listen to a lot of old blues that is just guitar and vocals.

I'm interested in a lot of different sounds and types of music.

I knew I wanted to be an artist, but I never took music lessons. I was just playing around in front of the mirror and being silly, then suddenly I started making songs.
