When I was 15 I became a full-time singer in a band. At 18 I made my first record.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I started young. My first record came out when I was - what? 18? So I was in the studio when I was 15, 16.
I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.
When I was 13, I told my dad I needed to record myself because I sounded awesome, even though I didn't. By 18, I was a lot better. Then I got a publishing deal, so I was writing songs for other people professionally.
Well, I started out as a musician, so when I was about 10 years old, I was already in a band.
I am a singer first and foremost. I was lucky enough to have a manager, when I was 15, who knew the heads of a lot of record labels at the time.
I was pretty young when I decided I wanted to, well, more so be a singer. I started singing in church in my hometown, East Orange, New Jersey. I knew when I was about five or six that I wanted to be a performer.
I sang and wrote songs when I was 12 years old.
The truth is, I initially became a singer-songwriter while still in my teens because it was the only way to guarantee that somebody on earth would sing the songs I was writing. Since then, I've performed just about everywhere: rock clubs, concerts halls, arenas, TV.
I started making music professionally when I was 14.
I started singing when I was 18 and landed my first record deal with RCA when I was 26 after a lot of grafting singing in pubs and clubs.
