I have this weird musical thing I do: I play violin, and I even went on tour with Tim Robbins. We did a bunch of Canadian cities, and then went down to the States, and then we ended up in Japan.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I really didn't intend to be a musician when I left Japan.
Once you're in a particular country, and you're surrounded by musicians who are so adept at traditional music, you suddenly realize how much there is to explore and digest and learn and experience.
I actually played violin on 'E.T.' I used to be a violinist.
I used to play violin, but I wasn't very good!
I started out doing musicals.
When I left Michigan and I came to New York, that was my goal, to be a professional dancer. And I sort of fell into singing by accident in a way.
So I went into jazz and performed in jazz clubs all over the country.
I was working a corporate job, but I really wanted to do music.
I did choir, soccer, some theater. The only weird thing about my life was that I was playing honky-tonks on the weekends.
I started my career as a singer in Japan, but left it all behind to focus on my dancing career.
