Influenced by his childhood, with a mother who struggled with addiction and a father who was a drug dealer, led him to create music that ‘comes from an unshakable sense of purpose, a belief in building beauty from life’s most painful moments’ (Forest Blakk, 2020).

Like with Clare, Blakk brings a ‘unique blend of soul… and acoustic’ to their music. I believe that Blakk was inspired by this blend and decided to work together with this concept in mind (Pianity, n.d). Clare's ‘heartfelt lyrics and melodic lines’ are heavily reflected (Microsoft News Center, 2012), I believe, in Blakk’s, such as the song Fall Into Me.

Influenced by the band’s moody, emo tone and existentially profound lyrics (Noorbakhsh, 2021), reflects heavily on Blakks spoken poetry pieces that he has released over the years. I believe that Just like The Neighbourhood, when the audience listens, they are emotionally affected by the power of emotion beyond has the same effect on Blakks songs and poetry.

I believe that logic was influenced by his ability to overcome personal struggles that he used to shape his lyrics, his parents struggling with substance abuse and his brothers manufacturing and distributing illicit drugs and caught up in these activities himself. These are heavily reflected upon in his music, including his struggle with being biracial, reflected upon in Black Spiderman.

I highly believe that Nas was a strong influence on Logic's form of music, due to both musicians using their platforms to address social issues. Nas was always an ‘outspoken advocate for social justice’ and spoke about ‘police brutality, racism, and inequality’ (Media Music News, 2023). Influencing Logics lyrics in a direction that reflects social issues.

Sinatra’s music consisted of easy listening and ‘smooth, crooning and perfect articulation (Waxman, 2012) is considerably reflected in Logic’s form of music, smooth music that is easy to understand for the audience and perfect articulation throughout his music career.

I consider Kushner was influenced greatly by the band's earlier works of raw instrumentals that best aligned with indie folk (Warhurst, 2022). This genre is projected in Kushner's piece Burn, which is similar to the band's ‘soothing guitar riffs and mellowed vocals’ (Tolley, 2012).

I believe that Kushner was highly influenced by the band's genre of folk, ‘rustic, heat-on-the-sleeve music… (and) melodies and soul-stirring lyrics’ (Vogue, 2018). I believe that it was these qualities that Kushner drew upon for his own music. In my opinion, his song Daylight is heavily influenced by The Lumineers genres, creating a thoughtful and emotionally provocative piece of music.

I believe that Kushner was highly influenced by Hozier his emotionally provocative lyrics, and his genre of ‘soul, gospel, and … blues’ (Steve Leggett, 2013), each of these aspects can be seen clearly in David’s music. His soul genre comes from his lyrics, branching across a range of topics including politics, faith and civil rights (Watsoo, 2023), I believe that Kushner's lyrics convey similar idea of faith when it comes to relationships.

With impeccable attention to detail within lyrics and lucid self-expression.

His lyrics contain issues surrounding mental health and have a blunt storytelling path, through a rapid-fire rap or smooth flow, creating an impactful experience for the audience. Within Logic's music there are clear ‘messages about self-esteem and the teenage mental health crisis’ (Sullivan, 2017), producing music that contains  'about staying afloat during dark times' provides an outlet for those who are in tough situations (Sullivan, 2017).

Highly influenced by his contemporary blends of pop and folk creating emotionally charged songs, being described as ‘mood soul-pop with magnetic storytelling’ (David Kushner Biography, Songs, & Albums | AllMusic, 2022). Each of his songs was crafted for those who struggle with communicating their feelings and experiences, creating a space for healing and self-expression.
