Nowadays though, I look up to Koda. He has some seriously GORGEOUS music and his talent is just purely insanely awesome. Same with Mr. Fijiwiji and Direct.
OVERWERK:

I love his dramatic melodies and just his music direction. He is unique in every respect.
OVERWERK combines orchestrated with Electronic and that sounds just fine to.
My favorite artist is definitely OVERWERK.
But I also hear others, like Skrillex or Pegboard Nerds.
BOARDS OF CANADA

If I had to pick one artist who inspires me the most, it'd definitely be them. I've never heard anyone else do music that is so simultaneously beautiful and spooky at the same time.

A lot of artist and OSTs:

All the Nintendo and studio ghibli OST

I usually try to imitate SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive's music, since it's my first console ever, and I have tons of great memories chained with it.
But I also have my own role models.
I try to be like F-777:

And Lucio (who is a character from Overwatch, but he has some great tunes):

Those guys have some awesome tracks that make me feel like running at the speed of sound. :P

I am not responsible for any broken speakers or eardrums. 'Nuff said and shown.
I started really really digging Alon Mor's stuff:

I find his sound design to be really original and the actual contrast that you see in the songs is something that I aspire to do in my music as well.
