Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am very inspired a lot of RnB/Soul artists such as Allen Stone, Daniel Caesar and Mac Aryes. Music with a lot of heart and authenticity is what I like best. In terms of songwriters, I think Ryan Tedder is one of the best top-liners ever.
