Influences

Well, my musical influences start from even before being born. When I was at my mom's womb, there was this 80's pop trio called Swing Out Sisters and every time a song from them called Break Out was played, I'd move inside my mom :)
Having that said, my father used to be a DJ/singer, so I grew up listening the good stuff: from Earth, Wind and Fire to Toto, A-ha and Tears for Fears. My uncle also plays the drums/guitar and sings and all of us sang at church at some point.

Now talking about band/groups I'm very broad regarding genres/subgenres. I can
be listening to Coldplay right now and after 5 minutes Slipknot/Slayer. I also love other genres besides rock: jazz, blues, bossa nova (I'm from Brazil), some country, electronic (specially synthwave) and I have a special places of the 80's in my heart.

Regarding of what I've sang until now, it's quite diverse, for instance:

Creedence Clearwater Revival
REM
Pink Floyd
Eric Clapton
The Strokes
The Killers
Coldplay
Keane
Audioslave (Like a Stone only)
The Doors
Fall Out Boy
Switchfoot
Killswitch engage (the clean parts)
Finger Eleven
Chris Daughtry (some songs, it's ver hard)
Pop Evil

To be honest, I still think I don't know what is my voice limitations and what I can/can't do. This is one of the reasons that I'm also considering to get some voice lessons to become a little bit more technical and perform better in overall.
