Classical music cause i was raised by parents who would spend all of their free time listening to romantic music, especially piano works, and also would bring me to the concert at the earliest age.
British pop & rock music from the 60' & 70', cause it was a deep breath in my musical education. These artists went seeking for new landscapes, new shades, new flavors, and mixed it all up, heroes of their time despite of social & racial restrictions.
R'n'b, Soul, Dance music from the same decades. It was a huge slap in my face, Stevie Wonder, Aretha, Marvin, Donny, Michael, so many i would love to mention. Just loved everything about it, the beats, the harmonies, the melodies, the feeling & the sound of it, everything. I am still struggling to blend in between those 3 major influences in all of my productions
