My production is not really influenced by a single person, when I'm making a beat, I just put together music that fuels the emotions I have at the time. Sometimes I'll try to stick to a theme or an idea for a beat will pop into my head, but many times its kinda spontaneous. I just let the music fuel me. I do, however, like the production of Kanye West, some Timbaland, Cool & Dre, Dr. Dre, and Scott Storch. However, I tend to stick to more realist beats, more down-to-earth type orchestra style beats.

I use Cool Edit to master my tracks, its great software. For beats, I use Acid Pro 5 and Fruity Loops.
