Well, that was interesting, wasn’t it? I think the last thing anyone needs right now is another long story about the pandemic or personal reflections. So, while the world was upside down, The Influences somehow had a pretty good 2020! Sure, I miss filming sessions and seeing live music as much as the next person, but this year gave me a chance to finally post some of the sessions I’d already recorded.
In 2020, I published 33 sessions.
You watched my videos 1.844.659 times.
You spent 75.700 hours watching The Influences sessions.
The Influences’ YouTube channel gained 4.600 new subscribers.
All that is still a little bit crazy to me. But I hope that all these sessions have given you a way to relax, enjoy and recharge this year. To discover new music and the brilliant artists I was honoured to film. All 33 sessions are listed below, in chronological order.
If you – like myself – are fortunate enough to not have been too affected financially by the pandemic, please consider buying records or merch by any of the artists you’ll find below. I can highly recommend all of them, or else they wouldn’t be on this website.
I don’t know when I’ll be back to filming again, but I have plenty recorded to keep publishing sessions for a good while into 2021. I hope you’ll keep enjoying watching them as much as I enjoy producing them.
Stay safe and have a calm 2021.
Matthijs.
