Describing his sound as a "breath of fresh air" mixed with a little "old" and a little "new," he respects those musicians who came before him. "Musically I grew up on Prince. Prince is like my favorite artist," D.Folks states as he recalls the first time he was introduced to this legendary great. "I remember my cousin was babysitting me one summer and she had a 1999 record. I was real young and I put that record on, and I listened to that the whole week she was watching me." Another artist D.Folks admires is the late Donny Hathaway. "This musician I met ... he heard me sing and turned me on to Donny Hathaway. Donny is like the type of singer where he's in the pocket can sing low, high, falsetto and it's smooth and straight."
Both Prince and Hathaway have had a tremendous influence on D.Folks, but he cannot forget those artists he has met personally as well. D.Folks has worked with some of today's hottest artists including Floetry, Faith Evens, Nappy Roots and even performed in front of Erykah Badu.

届くかわからないけれど
答え探して生きてくことが答えだ
帰り道のベンチに腰掛けたら
乾いたため息
気づかないうちについてた
"前を向いてくこと"
言葉じゃ簡単だけど
クチビルぎゅっと噛みしめて
悔しいことも力に変えてけるように
先へ進め
at one time
あと1cmのミライヘと
僕らは息を切らしてく
泥にまみれたって
強く信じ抜くこと
手を伸ばしてたその夢に
届くかわからないけれど
答え探して進んでくことが答えだ
見えないミライ あいまいでクライ
どこまで行けばいいのかそうツライ
限界なんて認めたくなくて
そう僕らは信じたくて
錆びついた自転車とあの日の空
大人になるって思うより難しくて
踏みしめたペダルは
ちょっと軋んでも
どこまでも行ける気がしてた
あの日の僕らに胸張って
譲れない夢きっと語れるように
先へ進め
I'm going
ただ一瞬のヒカリヘと
僕らは今駆け抜けてく
踏みつけられたって
枯れない花みたいに
遠く伸ばしてたその手が
届くかわからないけれど
アシタは来ると
信じてることがキボウだ
あとひとカケラの勇気が
見えない明日を変えていく
目指すゴールなんて
どんな遠くたっていい
何度も僕らは叫ぶよ
精一杯大きな声で
泣きたいほどのホントの夢を
あと1cmのミライヘと
僕らは息を切らしてく
泥にまみれたって
強く信じ抜くこと
手を伸ばしてたその夢に
届くかわからないけれど
答え探して生きてくことが答えだ
