This topic is pretty broad in terms of I have a lot of people who I would call Influential, but since the limit is 2-3 this is going to be pretty hard to narrow down.
I'm going with the obvious here and listing my mom and dad first off. Since day one they have been caring and made me the way I am now, hopefully one day I can be half of what my parents are today. I feel like I always follow what my dad does. Growing up he really made sure I understood to treat people the way you would want to be treated, giving is better than receiving, live everyday like its your last, and so on. They both wanted me to have the best in life and I really cant appreciate them enough for that.
My second influential person is a little bit debatable, but I feel like I have to go with someone a little more my age, Miley Cyrus. Honestly i'm not a huge fan of her music, but I follow her on twitter and all she does is tweet positive things. People think what she is doing is crazy and not normal, but thats her being herself and different, which is what everyone should be. From interviews i've seen before she seems like an amazing person.
The last influential person i'll talk about is someone i've been lucky to meet. During November of last year I went to see RL Grime in Royal Oak and somehow I managed to get to chat with him after the show for a little bit. I told him I love his music and one day I want to make music as a hobby and his positivity for me was just amazing. He kept on saying he looked forward to working with me one day and all I did was have a huge smile on my face.
