The only way artists can do things is to do it for themselves. Trying to second guess what the public wants or likes is kind of a fool's game.

I am a lover of all sorts of different music. I love blues and every piece of music that I have listened to has become an influence.

Subconsciously you just pick up things into your sort of musical vocabulary and use them.
