That mix gives you some recognizable names
but also artists that show more depth. J Dilla
and Black Milk especially make sense with you being a drummer/percussionist because rhythm and drums are central to their sound. Dwele and Amp Fiddler bring the Detroit soul side
while Def-i and Wake Self connect more to the Albuquerque/New Mexico hip-hop atmosphere.
If you want it written more like an artist statement instead of just names
use:
My influences run from Detroit’s Motown roots and artists like Big Sean
and Karriem Riggins to the independent hip-hop energy I’ve experienced in New Mexico through artists like Def-i and Wake Self. As a drummer and percussionist
I naturally gravitate toward strong rhythm
