If your early stuff sounds like your favorite artist, relax. Everyone starts as a cover band.

Imitation is how skill transfers, and there is no path to a voice of your own that skips it. Copying closely teaches you the moves from the inside, which is not the same as reading about them, and the differences that eventually become your style show up in the places where the copy fails. That failure is doing something useful.

Copy on purpose while you are learning, and be honest about it when you share. Then look for where your version keeps diverging, and follow that instead of correcting it.
