Did you have a musical mentor? If so, who was it and how did they influence you?
As far as a mentor goes, I can’t say I’ve ever had someone who took me up under their wing and showed me much. I had more strong examples of people who loved to play music. My mom played in a small touring band when I was little and my grandparents during holidays would encourage us all to pick up instruments and play along with old country gospel songs. I’m largely self taught and have kinda marched to my own drum with tons of encouragement from family and friends through the years.
