12. Butch Walker.

Butch Walker is a musician that has changed me in the best ways. I grew up listening to him thanks to my cousin, Raechel, and he guided me through the high highs and the low lows. He was there when I was a teenager lacking direction and purpose and he became the soundtrack to my life through college. As an adult, he's still here, and he still comforts me in a way that no one else can. I forced Matt to go to Melbourne, Australia just so I could go to the restaurant/cafe inspired/named after him (it's Sycamore Meadows in Melbourne and one of the owners, Garry, is literally the best). I did this inspired by his album/one of my favorite phrases, Stay Gold. This one's for you, Butch.
