The first music I was exposed to was Stravinsky and I loved it but I don't remember it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Other than the 'Sesame Street' soundtrack, which I was obsessed with, the first artist I really felt I'd discovered on my own was Amy Winehouse. She was the first female artist I wanted to write like and sing like and be like.
That was my first love growing up - classical orchestral music, especially Impressionism.
I loved music from earliest childhood - from as long as I can remember.
On my mental iPod, I always have Stravinsky and Ravel.
Music had been my first love among the arts, and I was fascinated by it, as I still am.
The first music I was ever exposed to was Irish folk music, like the Clancy Brothers. My father plays that and Christmas songs.
Stravinsky is masterly: his harmony is conceived so precisely that it can only be the way it is.
I've learned a lot from the masters of orchestration, like Ravel and Stravinsky.
Stravinsky used Mother Goose. He was influenced by Mother Goose, indirectly, but very beautifully.
The first music I ever got into was the '80s alternative bands that my brother listened to, like The Cure and The Smiths and R.E.M. and Fugazi. I can remember specifically saying The Cure was my favorite band back in second grade.
