Madeon speaks about how his friendship with Porter Robinson and their shared work on the single Shelter may have possibly hindered his personal work on his album but states that it has helped to further his own growth and inspired him.
"For a while I was a little anxious that maybe Shelter would interrupt that for me (His album) and distract me but instead I think it provided me with even more inspiration and being with Porter, who has been such a huge supporter of what I’m making right now, and being able to talk about that music with him frequently on the tour and show him that music and discuss it together has actually helped me more if I had spent that time in the studio somehow. "

Elton John is Uematsu-san's oldest and most important influence. Pretty much spurned his interest and career choice to become an artist.
"The reason I wanted to be Elton John in 1972 was probably because the first record that I ever bought was Elton John’s album Honky Château. It gave me a great shock as a young man. I thought about how wonderful it would be to do that kind of thing as a job. Honky Château had a big impact on my life."  (Interview: Final Fantasy’s Nobuo Uematsu | Red Bull Music Academy Daily, 2014)

Bring Me The Horizons Drummer Matt Nicholls states how their music progressed from early on in their career to later on.  "On the first CD we were influenced a lot by Swedish metal - At The Gates and stuff like that. There's a lot of just fast playing. Whereas now our sound has matured a bit and we are influenced by more things. On the first CD we were 18 or 19 years old and wanted to be as metal as possible."

Nobuo Uematsu is a sublime music composer and is partially responsible for my interest and love surrounding video game music. His ability to cover an entire wide range of genres is something I truly love, ranging from classical symphonic pieces and rock and metal to even Electronic and pop pieces.  I am extremely passionate about video games as a medium and the music that can inhabit it. From ambient noises and background sounds to full-formed soundtracks covering spectacular moments I have an ever increasing delight and interest in wanting to create Music in this form

Madeon is a French DJ that I have recently come to love listening to because of how sincere and full of love his music sounds to me, which is how I hope to conduct how I create my work.
His depth and talent for creativity resonated with me since he created an on-the-fly 39-song mashup/mix when he was 17 years old in 2011 which to me is one of the coolest things in the world and shows the breadth and depth of music creation to an Insanely comprehensive scale.  (Madeon, 2011) (Pop Culture (Live Mashup))

Bring me the Horizon is a unique band to me in that they make me feel the entire emotional range across 1 album which to me is very impressive.  They are not afraid to experiment outside their sound and try new things even if they have push back, which shows me that they care more about their art than any possible reception to it ; Creating for the sake is creating, which is my end career goal.

The Singer Oli Sykes is incredibly talented and has pushed my love for Rock and Metal vocal's to almost a level of being obsessed about them which in turn has spurned my interest in how Vocals function in a studio setting.
