Her production is inspired by artists such as Kid Cudi, N.E.R.D, as well as her reggae-DJing grandfather. Milo grew up listening to her mothers Jazz music which has been one of her biggest musical influences saying “I’m instantly attracted to music with some kind of Jazz element to it, but I also think the fact that even my mum never played only one genre in the house rubbed off onto me, I don’t want to have just one sound in my music when there’s so many other genres that inspire me.” Milo is ispired by Corinne Bailey Ray and Amy Winehouse and the way they convey their emotions. Rainy was influenced by producer and singer Pharrell and cites in use of a mixture of genres as a major influence praising his ability to mix “rock with psychedelic-sounding stuff and R&B”.

Rainy Milo – Rats Lyrics:
Can’t feel the ‘.running on your mind
”til your young ‘

Just remember that your mine
Just remember that your mine
Is cool if you are gone and now
Just remember your mine
Tell you what you need the ways are wrong
Let all since ‘but keep me on your side

Just remember that your mine
Just remember that your mine
Is cool if you are gone but now
Just remember your mine
Tell you what you need the ways are wrong
Let all since ‘but keep me on your side
Zipping honey ‘telling you to be ‘
And all the things I say ‘comes a ‘
Bright green ‘in your eyes ‘
Is cool if you are gone but now
Just remember your mine
Tell you what you need the ways are wrong
