I got my production thing started this year, 2008, but i've been doing music for 4 years. Basically thats about it, music is all i do. I'm completely focused.
I do, but not with my beats. I've played a couple open mic gigs on my guitar.
Premier, Pete Rock, Dilla, Kanye, Timbaland, Polow Da Don, 9th Wonder... I could go on for way to long. Everything that sounds good to the ear influences me.
