The music culture that has influenced me the most would be that of Indian origin. My initial exposure to Indian music was brought about by my parents who themselves are Carnatic singers. Indian music has a wide selection of genre such as folk, popular, pop, classical music and R&B. Since Indian music consists of various types they all have the same base foundation from Hindustani and Carnatic music.

Typically Indian music tends to be pleasing and soothing to hear. Due to the soothing melody of the music it tends to claim people at given times in life, even when they are extremely angry or upset. Studies have shown that Indian Classical music has prevented people from suicide. Even today’s modern Indian music tends to have the same effect. I would agree that the origin of Indian music has started to disappear into the dark due to the western influence in India. Indian music has made me the claim and chill person I am today. An example of Modern Indian music:
