I went to the Conservatory of Music in school in Rome.

I grew up listening to music and going to the theatre.

I went to the Conservatory, studying piano and singing, up to high school - but I only did four years because I then had to start working, and the jobs were so good that I didn't stop.

I started in theatre. I went to the Boston Conservatory and majored in musical theater.

I went to school and studied music for a year at USC, which unlocked a bunch of doors for me in terms of my relationship to music.

I was a musical theatre geek in high school and college.

My musical education started in the limelight, because I found myself surrounded by real musicians, but after my career had taken off.

I grew up with music very much in my life. I achieved success by combining my training as an accountant with my family upbringing and love of music.

Some people go to college. For me I studied music my whole life. That was my college.
