Hello, I'm wondering if any artist has had ever any strong influence on you? If yes, what kind of influence and which artist? Do you think these influences were positive or negative? What about your friends, answer the same questions for them. I personally have been influenced greatly by Tupac Amaru Shakur. No I don't walk around the streets strapped or anything, if you think that's the only influence this man can have on the youth you're totally wrong and you don't know him. Check out his speeches about freedom and riches and the society, they really inspired me and changed the way I think. Hope to hear from you soon! Greetings, samyboy280

I love artists that give us the chance to escape into another world, giving us movies that we find, to our refuge. I love music artists, who know how to reinterpret for us all the harmonies of heaven and earth. And I think that people can easily split in two, the artists and neartisti. The wonderful creatures that see the world in colors, sounds, moving unparalleled, and others can play, and other beings just waiting to be given the splendors of existence, by toil, by grace, through the dedication of the former. And if we were to answer honestly the question about my dream remained unfulfilled, you should say that I wanted to be a singer or dancer or acrobat. To receive applause and spectators to make hearts throb, even just for a split second. Going from place to place, earning my bread in an effort to bring me one thousand joy above all, to see the world and the world to see me. And because I hate to say it's too late for anything in my life, deceived me think that, later, when I withdraw my toasty profession that all the time and all the energy I will sing, with part-time in a pub near the house, not to let my thoughts, dreams, aspirations, to dispel pointless.I inspire the music of Manowar.

I enjoy listening to all different kinds of music. One kind I very much like is the jazz music. I should say I became pretty much addicted to jazz music, and that started while listening to the jazz music of Louis Armstrong. You can say I became very much influenced by Louis Armstrong's jazz.

I think we all have been influenced one way or another by an artist. I really liked hip hop when I was younger, now I listen to every type of music, which I like, it doesn't really matter the genre. If a song has a nice melody or if it has a good message, I will probably like it. Tupac was a genius, he has made many great songs, with lot of great messages. But the problem with rappers is that they claim to be "real" but the majority of them are fake. They only care about money and they usually do their "disses" regarding who pays them. But yes, I like the style, the clothes and the rhythm of hip hop. As for artists who influenced me, I cannot name one specifically, but music and other arts have had an influence on me, for sure.

Yes... my favourite band DEMON HUNTER, their lyrics have had a big influence on the way I live. There are many things to think about in this life, and Demon Hunter had given me the strength to fight all the problems in my life and endure with the situations that arise.
