Wynter Gordon: I don't think that there's really ever a new sound.I feel like music kind of goes in cycles so I definitely feel like my music is somewhat of an offspring of my influences. Do you see their influence in your music? Rowrytah: That is definitely an eclectic mix of artists and good ones at that. In High School, it was Beyonce and Avril Lavigne. Wynter Gordon: Goo Goo Dolls, Janet Jackson, Usher, Celine Dion, Madonna, and Whitney Houston. Rowrytah: What artists inspired you growing up? Most people are so caught up with trying to better their own situation that its tough to see the next person's struggle. Wynter Gordon: Yeah, I think that its just not a priority for many because its so tough out in the industry right now. That is something that is missing from a lot of artists in the industry right now. And it is great that you want to help others through your music. Rowrytah: I know where you are coming from Wynter being from a large family myself. It also fuels an agenda in me to help others through my music. I grew close with my sisters because we shared in the struggle for male acceptance, self-esteem, sharing clothes etc.but its not something I regret because it has helped me appreciate every blessing I am receiving now. Wynter Gordon: It was tough at first.I have never met my biological father so my mother did what she could. Rowrytah: Wow! How did it feel growing up in such a large family?
