I look up to a lot of people in the music industry. Some of them have huge followings, while others don’t have quite as much. Does that really matter? I don’t think so. If you make good music and don’t have a terrible personality, then I’ll probably look up to you in some way. I haven’t gone to many gatherings to potentially meet some of these amazing people, but hopefully, I can start soon (at least once COVID isn’t a major issue). In the meantime, I’ll tell you about some musicians I look up to.
1) Marshmello
First up on the list is none other than Marshmello. He is one of the main reasons I got into music production in the first place! He used to make a bunch of EDM music, but lately, he’s gone a bit more mainstream. He’s even a skilled guitarist and pianist! I first listened to his song “Alone” back in 2017, and that’s what inspired me to make my own song. I later listened to more of his music and just started fanboying over him for a while. Most of the music I made for the next few months was inspired by Marshmello, and I loved every second of it. But as time went on, I started digging into video game music.
2) Hyper Potions
Next (and last) up on the list is Hyper Potions. All of their songs always give off good vibes, nothing else. They’ve been making remixes and original video game-styled music for years. They’ve even made the theme song for Sonic Mania(the first song of theirs I listened to)! And the little cherry on top is their mascots, two cute little corgi puppies! Hyper Potions were the ones that really gave me the idea to try out more video-game-like sounds in my own music, and I’ve stuck with it ever since!
