Your musical influences
Passion is my influence. The depth & motion that sound allows & creates proves to me there is more out there than the corner store. I find Deep House to be beautiful, I've seen endless movements created from this experience. Soul driven Funk-Nu Jazz & Deep Vocal Textures I enjoy very much. Ethnic-esque Fusion always tingles me.
