I basically taught myself how to sing and play by copying records, and that's just how it was for me. I know that's true for a lot of budding musicians out there - that's the thing that gets them inspired, is trying to learn their favorite songs. I think it's a great way to teach yourself.

In real life Ming Tea consisted of actor Mike Myers Hoffs Canadian musician/producer Christopher Ward and singer Matthew Sweet. Robbie Fulks wrote about her in "That Bangle Girl" which appears on his album The Very Best of Robbie Fulks. This group made a number of television performances (with Myers in character as Powers) and had a minor hit with the song "BBC".

She is best known as a member of the all-female pop band The Bangles.
