In addition to Bjork She also cites Leonard Cohen as an influence. In response to her mother's suggestion that people shouldn't be trying at achieving fame through the songs she writes, but rather realize the importance of themselves and their impact on society. She began playing the piano as her primary instrument when she was six. She began writing music when she turned nine. The family did not know about this until she turned 14.
