My influences
My influences over the years have changed greatly as my technicality on my instrument has improved ,but from artists such as REM ,my dad ,to the world renowned maestro guitarist Joe Satriani my music writing has not changed greatly in its style but more in its detail. ... At first I thought that this could be a problem having all of these different influences unleashed on one style of music but it worked well because everyone in the band is influenced by different artists but can apply these influences to any thing they play. I feel that without others influences on me I would never have learned what ive learned or be able to create the type of music that I want to create. I have found these influences to be the most important thing in my musical life and I am always looking for the new extreme in music to twist into something individual and unique created from years of inspiration from others.
