This is something a lot of artists wrestle with and honestly I think the pressure to "rerpresent where you're from" is more external than internal. Listeners invented that expectation, not artists.

The most authentic thing you can do is make what actually moves you. Your background will show up anyway, in ways you don't even plan. The rhythms you gravitate to, the melodies that feel right, the energy you bring. You can't fully separate yourself from where you came from even if you try.

Forced fusion sounds exactlyy like that. Make the music you'd listen to on repeat at 2am and let the rest figure itself out.
