[Perform-Talk] Musical influences

[Darian Smith]

Good Morning list!
  I can’t help but to notice that the list has been a little on the quiet side lately so I wanted to liven things up a little bit.

 A week ago Prince passed away, and while it shocked myself and many many others around the world I started to look into the musicians which musically shaped him. Every artist  or musician has some sort of creative  influence.  For some it is a family member who was  really talented musically, for others it may have been an artist they listen to when they grew up.
 for myself myDJ influences  were among others my mom who mixed while in college and worked some clubs in the local club scene.
 I also enjoyed listening to radio  DJs in particular a very talented man by the name of Greg Lopez.
  What was it for you? what or who musically influenced you?
  Thanks Darian
