Tupac (feat. Elton John) – Ghetto Gospel

I love the combination of styles and the powerful story behind the song. Lyrically, in my opinion, this song is genius and influenced my writing style.

Approachable Members Of Your Local Community – Semiotic Vision

I love the song as it has a funky feel to it and they’re not afraid to stand out from the crowd.

Bastille – Fake it

I can listen to Bastille’s music all night. Every single one of their songs are different and amazingly composed. Bastille influenced my ways of writing songs.

Avicii – Without You

Avicii was a once in a generation artist. His music has just got a huge appeal and really changed my view on how music is made.

Chance The Rapper – Same Drugs

This is a song that ever since it came out I’ve loved! I love how the instrumental is somewhat simple bet yet so effective.

Amy Shark – I Said Hi

This song has a really unique sound to it and I really love that. I can always get behind Australian artists!

Isak Danielson – Broken

I love all the lyrics to Isak Danielson’s music and his gentle melody’s.

Eminem – Mockingbird

Eminem’s music is so powerful and thats why I love it. His music is timeless!

Bastille – Warmth

Bastille are my favourite band and have been for years! The chorus of the song really brings everything together.

The Chainsmokers – Kanye

This song is really easy on the mind and really uplifting. The beat in this song is so well made.
