Influence

// August 24th, 2010 // life, Music & Entertainment

I’ve had a post in draft mode for months talking about influence in music and how we create what we create—  I deleted it today.  Simple reason.  My friend Matt Stanfield said it in a few short words and nailed it.  So today.  It’s his words:

Influences aren’t ideas we copy, they are concepts we assimilate. Those concepts merge and mingle, and the collective result is what sets you apart. It may even push you to do something new.
