Musically first and foremost...I am a BLUES musician, a Bassist, growing Vocalist and Songwriter.
Everything in life regardless of how positive or negative is an influence as my ears have heard many wonderful sounds and many not so wonderful sounds so either way it has taught me what I want to be and what I don't want to be musically.
As for myself as a musician and if music (and my ears have heard it) -
1) Has something to say (by way of a Spiritual or intellectual message)
2) Has Passion & Emotion
3) Has Groove & Tone
4) Bares the Soul
5) Has the power to get one emotional or cry everytime you hear that music by all means is an influence.
A closed mind musically is the greatest opponent that any musician can ever hope to battle especially if it is your own mind because you only hold yourself back.
Musicians who have something serious to say through their music that can touch & heal the Soul instead of meaningless drivel & gibberish and musicians that make me weep everytime I listen to them no matter how many times I have heard them and anyone who has ever laid down a groove that came from somewhere deep within their soul that were REAL & HONEST and most especially BELIEVABLE is as influential as one can get.
And this is a big influence:
