But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.

I started playing music when I was really young.

I started playing music when I was 12 years old.

I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.

I started making music professionally when I was 14.

All my siblings being all different ages meant I got exposed to music that was 20-30 years older than me. And that was a big influence.

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've done a lot of growing up since the age of 16 and I really wanted that to be reflected in my music.

My dad played music so I was around it at a really young age.

A lot of kids have parents who say, 'Music is hard; maybe you should come up with a Plan B.' Whenever I hear that kind of 'advice,' I think it's bad parenting. I was lucky to have a parent who assured me it was a possibility to pursue music.
