I've been a music fan for a while but never really defined my taste until recently. Musically and creatively I'm inspired by Tyler, the Creator, his overall talent both in front and behind the scenes serves as an inspiration for me. He just gets better with each project and knows how to lead himself. He's also pretty versatile and can do more than just rap the same shit but he can produce, sing, direct, write, and is also a fashion designer. One thing about T, he just gets better with each project and producing skills get more and more refined. 

Another inspiration of mine is Kendrick Lamar, he's most likely the first actual artist I didn't mind listening to a whole album about when I was younger. His lyrical talent is unmatched and he tackles a lot of subjects either real world issues such as racism, police brutality, as well as the horrors he dealt with in Compton or dived into personal mental health.

Lil Nas X is also an inspiration because of his work in normalizing queer black men in music. Honestly I think someone like him is necessary to pave the way for new queer rappers into the industry and hopefully achieve mainstream attention. 

More inspirations of mine that I listen to on a daily basis is H.E.R., Anderson .Paak, Ella Mai, Megan Thee Stallion, Pharrell, & Thundercat
