JAKARTA - Actress Riley Gough called Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin his references to characterizing the title character in the musical drama Daisy Jones And The Six from Amazon Prime Video.

Riley explained that she sees men as inspiration for Daisy Jones because she feels the mini-series protagonist has modern ideas for a frontwoman in a band in the 1970s.

"I was like, 'I wouldn't have exclusively seen women; I wanted to see Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix," Riley was quoted as saying by NME on Monday.

"I took influence from men because I felt Daisy was more modern in terms of how open and how willing she was to go somewhere and be confident. I think it's very difficult for women to do," he continued.

Riley then said she had watched many recording videos of singers in that era to find out their movements.

"Right now there is no freedom for women, and it can be seen from how they behave on stage," said the woman who also works as a model.

"It was much more limited in the 1970s, so I struggled with it because my body movement was very attached to my generation."
