1 Listen to a variety of music

One of the best ways to incorporate diverse genres and influences into your music style is to listen to a wide range of music. Exposure to different sounds, rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and structures can help you expand your musical vocabulary and discover new possibilities. You can also learn from how other artists mix genres and influences in their music and find out what works and what doesn't. Try to listen to music from different eras, cultures, regions, and styles, and pay attention to how they use elements such as instrumentation, production, arrangement, and lyrics.

Find songs of different styles that resonate with you and listen deeply to the nuances of those styles. Then, try to replicate what you hear on your instrument.

2 Experiment with different combinations

Another way to incorporate diverse genres and influences into your music style is to experiment with different combinations of elements. You can try to fuse genres that are traditionally considered incompatible, such as metal and jazz, or reggae and classical. You can also try to mix elements from genres that are related, but have distinct characteristics, such as blues and rock, or hip hop and R&B. You can also try to add elements from genres that are not usually associated with your main genre, such as electronic sounds in folk music, or orchestral arrangements in pop music.

In addition to listening to diverse music, try attending live shows of artists who are not typically on your radar but belong to the genre you're seeking inspiration from. In my experience, creating collaborations with different artists from other genres has brought not only memorable musical experiences but also significant enrichment from a musical perspective. This hands-on approach to exploring and blending genres can lead to a more authentic and enriched musical style.

This question speaks to me and my original composition, Acoustic Metal." The title already suggests that I am playing around with elements that are not typically put together in one song. There are acoustic songs and there are metal songs. Unless you're like me, in which case I created this song which I believe matches it's name. It's in open E tuning. This is also unusual for a ,"metal," song. There's a sweet bridge where I am imitating standard tuning pretty well. Being fearless is a very great quality for a songwriter or musician. Dare to think and play outside the box. You'll thank me later. I did and have never turned back. And another thought, do you want to copy others or create something that's uniquely you and recognizably you?

3 Find your balance

A third way to incorporate diverse genres and influences into your music style is to find your balance between innovation and coherence. You don't want to create music that is too predictable or too chaotic. You want to create music that is original and interesting, but also consistent and recognizable. You need to find your balance between the familiar and the unfamiliar, the expected and the unexpected, the simple and the complex. You need to find your balance between honoring your influences and expressing your voice.

It's often good to start from scratch when writing in a band scenario, rather than presenting a fully written composition to the group. Telling your bandmates to "go off and learn this" can cause disagreements, especially if the composer already has a clear vision for the way a song should sound. On the other hand, bringing a single guitar riff, piano chords or vocal melody to the table for others to build on encourages creativity and brings synergies to the songwriting process, allowing musicians to make the most of their different influences and feel passionate about the project.

4 Learn from feedback

A fourth way to incorporate diverse genres and influences into your music style is to learn from feedback. You can get feedback from different sources, such as your peers, your fans, your mentors, or your critics. You can use feedback to evaluate your music style and see what works and what doesn't. You can use feedback to improve your music style and see what you can do better. You can use feedback to challenge your music style and see what you can do differently. You can use feedback to inspire your music style and see what you can do next.

5 Be authentic

A fifth way to incorporate diverse genres and influences into your music style is to be authentic. You don't want to create music that is a copy or a parody of other genres or influences. You don't want to create music that is a gimmick or a trend. You want to create music that is a reflection of who you are and what you feel. You want to create music that is a statement of your identity and your vision. You want to create music that is authentic to you and your audience.

6 Have fun

A sixth way to incorporate diverse genres and influences into your music style is to have fun. You don't want to create music that is a chore or a burden. You don't want to create music that is a formula or a rule. You want to create music that is a passion and a joy. You want to create music that is a exploration and a discovery. You want to create music that is fun for you and your listeners.
