I translated a part from an article It is said if you want to learn how to do something and find your own style, firstly you should imitate that, who has already found it, and cutting the waffle, but adding something from yourself, you will meet your own way step-by-step. Boys from 10 cm band started with imitation of American singer Jason Mraz’s light, playful and full of happiness sounds. The attempt has failed, but instead the unique duet, not afraid to experiment and creating the music which really brings us happiness appeared. Nowadays when you’re enjoying the 10cm’s songs maybe sometimes you have a feeling that it resembles something, but that is only echo of culture layer they based on and made a start from.

You bring up an interesting point but even the greatest artists draw upon those that came before them for inspiration. Where do you draw the line between inspiration and imitation?

This is not a correction. I just only want to say that the article suggested on my point of view is a big mistake. How is possible to be creative imitating others and replacing something for yourself? I think the best way to be original in composition is accepting the idea that nowadays it's so difficult to find something new. So if you work hard, probably one day you'll find a moment of inspiration. At that moment, you'll be able to catch something new and bringing here.
