And I've played piano since I was little, so I was originally the piano player in the band.

I wrote my first piano piece when I was in 4th grade.

I used to sing songs from musicals all the time as a kid.

I started piano lessons when I was four; I was being classically trained at the Colburn School.

I played piano as a kid; I still play a little bit.

I played piano growing up. I played classical piano since I was 5, and I sang in choirs, and I sang in plays and musicals.

I started writing songs when I was real young, when I was 3 years old. The piano spoke to me - I don't remember when I wasn't playing piano. My second grade talent show was the first time I performed my own thing. I dressed up as Dracula and played a song called 'Monster Rock' that I wrote. And I won.

I was for a minor amount of time but I was probably a better pianist at 15 than I am now.

My mother sent me to dance and drama classes when I was young, and then I got a stage role in 'Set To Partners' when I was 12, followed by Benjamin Britten's 'Let's Make An Opera.'

My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff.
