Influences: URTEMPO.............influence is experience. to live and love what you do regardless of where you find yourself. on a music note, there are truly too many influences to list them all, as if its infinite. sound makes us grinn. sittin in the bathroom just jammin the acoustics ...seriously... i can honestly say that just hearin the wail makes us break down. the instant gratification of rediscovering whats already laid out in front of us keeps us commin back. we just like to get down. hit or miss its all the same love. thats our influence.
now if you believe that what you listen to is your inflluence and if you must have an insight....
