My Musical Inspirations	Almost all genres of music have inspired me at some point but the bands that got me interested in learning how to play in the first place were 90s rock and pop bands like Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals, Beck and many others. However as my career in music progressed I became very interested in electronic music and was influenced by Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, various Drum and Bass music and especially Ambient music, which I now create in my spare time.
