Influences
My biggest influences come from the music I listened to most growing up, which was mostly 70s and 80s, particularly Billy Joel and Elton John whose music I play a lot. Steely Dan are the band I definitely listen to the most, and I find their complex chord progressions helpful to develop my music theory. I do still find time to listen to modern rock and pop, as well as classic 90s hip/hop, which has all given me a well-rounded musical background.
