influenced music culture

one music culture that has influenced would have to be my friend Caleb Mak. he has been making music since he was young and released his first album last year. At first I thought his music was just a way for him to pass the time because we were bored high school students, however whenever he finished a new song the same routine would occur. We would both arrive to school early and then I would go sit in his car and he would play the song while he drove around the parking lot. Then after the song was over he would stop the music and look over at me and would ask me what I thought about the song and so I would give him an answer. then he would tell me the story behind the song or what he was thinking about before he wrote the song, I could tell that he wanted to deceive in his song but I don't really know what that means and I honestly don't think he knows what that means either. However I realized how passionate his music was to him and that influenced me because he doesn't give up on what he is passionate about. He continues to make more music today and I'm an active listener and supporter for basically all of his music.
