Since the emergence of Ghazal Melayu Johor music (GMJ) pioneered by Pak Lomak around the 1920s until now, there has not been any comprehensive study ever conducted on the aspects of the creation or style of composition that has ever existed. Previous GMJ music studies focused on the historical and traditional characteristics of the music and did not investigate the creativity and innovation aspects which have been developed till now. As a result, no concepts of GMJ creation which has ever been used as references and guide in the world of music since it was born till now. The first objective of this study was to examine the influence of composition in the development of GMJ music from the context of inspiration/motivation of composition and socio-culture. Secondly, summarized the style of composition that has taken place in the development of GMJ music based on the era monopolized by well-known figures. This study used comparative methodology to summarize the development happened between traditional GMJ music to date. This study used a qualitative methodology of documents analysis for (written and audio/visual recording) Ghazal Melayu Johor and interviews with leaders and Ghazal Melayu Johor music activists. The implication for this study is to provide an overview and scholarly information to readers on the Ghazal Melayu Johor Music Composition since there are no research conducted previously.
