At first, I wasn't really keen on the idea of me being on stage having to sing in front of people.

I always wanted to be a singer, but none of my friends thought I could sing.

I never really wanted to be a singer, because I was a super-shy kid. Singing made me feel awkward, and I was really insecure.

I think I can sing, but that does not mean I can actually sing. I fear that I'm like one of those 'American Idol' contestants who truly believe they are good and are actually dreadful.

When I was singing, everybody liked me.

People like me for my songwriting and production, not my singing.

I sing, but I don't think of myself as a singer.

Because everybody always encouraged me to sing, I assumed that I wasn't bad at it. It felt like it was obvious what I was going to pursue. I thought I was good for as long as I can remember.

I never tried to sing like anybody else, fortunately I didn't sound like anybody else. It just happened.

I didn't really have an agenda for my talent. I just wanted to be able to sing.
