In songwriting, I needed language. And I always believed in singing about what I do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel.
I love songwriting. It's second to my love for singing in how I express myself.
I came from a very musical family, so I grew up singing karaoke with the family. My family said 'do this' and brought me to singing lessons. I had always been writing poems and songs.
I first started to sing when I started to talk. As soon as I could form words and sounds together, I was singing.
Yeah, I've always sung, and I always try to find a way for music to be in my life.
I didn't sing, but I did play the drums.
I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.
I just wanted to be a songwriter. I did really not like the sound of my own voice.
Mostly singing was cathartic, writing was cathartic, therapeutic. I don't think I had a goal, particularly, to sing or put it out there for anybody.
I always knew I wanted to be a musician, and I always knew I wanted to write, 'cause the people I was listening to all wrote. I never thought it was an option to sing anyone else's songs.
