What's your musical style and how'd you get into it?

no, I'm a lifetime Oingo Boingo fan.

Originally I wanted to be Prince...or at least Duke. Then I went gangsta...and then anti-gangsta. Then I decide that todays Hip Hop sucked...so I just let it all hang out and do whatever comes.

That is excellent advice! Let's see now...shamann wrote:Finding a style can be fairly easy: decide what kind of music you want to listen to, and then from that figure out what you are best at. Reducing diverse tastes is always a stumbling block, but it must be done. Put it this way, I like jazz, I occasionally like play jazz, but the jazz I've written is rather pedestrian. I have neither the skill nor the interest/devotion to develop the skill enough to write fantastic jazz. There are jazz things I think about when doing non-jazz things, but within limits and rarely overtly.
Developing a coherent style, i.e. something that will be noticeable to others, takes time, as it's really a matter of improving skill, developing confidence and enough familiarity with the style to skillfully expand upon it.
Bear in mind style here really has to do with what you publish rather than your experience of music. Music is just sitting down with it and getting on with things. So in terms of publishing, figure out what your ego can handle as the image for which you will be known to others, and that'll cinch it.
