My mother was the first singer I had contact with. She sang constantly to us around the house, in church.

I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.

Yes, my mother was a singer, and my father played piano and keyboards. They were in a band together, though they also had regular jobs because they had kids and stuff like that.

My mom was a folk singer and Celtic harpist. My dad was in a barbershop quartet and my great grandma was an opera singer. As I grew up, I discovered pop music and Top 40 radio, but it was in the '90s, so music was very different then - it was really lyrical.

My mom was an opera singer, and she gave up her career to raise a family. But she also taught my sisters how to sing.

Both my grandfathers and my mother's brother were musicians.

I was a kid, and I remember my mother singing. She was also a radio soap opera actress, but my mother sang.

My mom was a dancer, my dad's a singer and I've always had that kind of music in my life.

I grew up with singers. My father's mother sang opera. My dad was a big band singer. I can't remember a time there wasn't music in the house, so I grew up listening to great songwriters - George Gershwin, Cole Porter - and my grandma was playing opera for me before I was 3.

My mother - the Irish side of the family - was very musical. My mother was a singer; there was music around the house all the time.
