Abstract
Researching Stuff Smith's music in different directions has profoundly influenced my music career. These experiences have shaped my unique musical expression. As I embark on my artistic journey, my ears naturally absorb the sounds of different musicians, each of whom has left a unique imprint on my musical sensibilities. However, a crucial step was to start a personal exploration, discovering and developing a playing style that resonated with me. Stuff Smith is just one of the great artists who shaped my musical path. Most of all, I want my audience to perceive and appreciate my personality when listening to my music. I am determined to go beyond the limitations of being considered just another musician, and instead be recognized as an artist with a deep and authentic sound.
