Weeeeell, the first artist I ever really loved was probably Gordon Bok, an amazing local songsmith. That was when I was about 2? He had a song-story with a boat, a seal-woman, and an evil, talking wind, how could I NOT love it. (Now, I listen to it and realize it's a fantastic work of art!)
My tastes are now heavily avante-garde, lots of classical, jazz, prog, also metal, folk, world, eletronic, rock, noise... And I'm still finding new things every week to love.
Sooo, I guess about, 22 years and counting?
The day I find my one and only genre, and where my taste stops developing, is the day I'll know I've stopped learning as a musician, as a composer, and especially a listener and lover of music.
Keep exploring, keep discovering, keep expanding!
