about

People always say that I try to emulate Bono when I sing. And I can't argue with them - they hear what they hear. Even though I'm inspired by U2 I never really wanted to sound like them. I always wanted to sound like myself - but growing up I was too insecure to even know what that meant. So I went for passion and all out intensity every time I sang. THAT is why you hear Bono in my voice. I never sang like John, Paul or George... I never sang like Boy George or Duran Duran. Couldn't sing like Michael Jackson or Thom York from Radiohead - so I just sang with this voice inside of me - and Bono is what people heard. What can I do about that? It was 1996. I had long black hair and wore eye liner. Bono was not doing that. I was toying with all this image stuff closer to Bowie than I was to Bono. I was trying to find myself and did not quite make it during this album or tour afterwards... All these were steps in my journey. I don't regret it. There is only ONE BONO... and I am not him. But I want to thank him for helping me find my voice along the way.
