My parents were just really weird and protective about the music I listened to. Whenever I wanted to buy an album, they would have to buy it first and listen to it and let me know if I could have it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I made my first album, there was no indication that anybody other than my parents were going to buy it.
It was weird - my parents would let me have some Green Day albums but not all Green Day albums.
I was very obsessed with my music, and I think that, as a young girl, I really wanted to get into this business, and I don't think my parents really knew how to protect me.
My parents were quite strict; we couldn't just listen to whatever music we wanted. It was very much like they monitored what we listened to.
Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life. My parents had a pretty solid vinyl collection and exposed me to some amazing artists.
I don't want kids listening to my music thinking it's for their parents. I want them to feel it's theirs.
I remember the first time I ever showed my parents a song that I had written. The content may have been a little darker than they were used to, or really introspective in a way that may have been uncomfortable. I thought they'd retaliate with some kind of judgment or concern about whether I was feeling all right, but they were proud of it.
I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.
My parents were music lovers and collectors. It was around.
It's important that when kids are listening to my music they don't think of it as their parent's music.
