My dad and my uncles used to always be in the studio at my house.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My dad is an art director for BBC TV shows, and my mum does screen printing workshops. Both of my parents played instruments, too, and my mum used to have crazy house parties when me and my brother were young - dub and garage would be banging through my house.
The local dudes who knew that my dad owned a studio would say, 'Ahh, dude is spoiled,' and this and that. But we didn't abuse it at all. I'd always ask if we could use the studio first, and if our dad didn't want us there he would tell us, and that was that. But I definitely tried to get down there as often as I could.
I got into the studio when I was thirteen. At the age of twelve I was doing public performances.
I love to go into the studio on days when I'm not even doing anything. It's like my senior club. Some people go to senior centers, well I go to my senior center.
My dad had a movie theater so I was there every night.
My whole family is very artistic - my uncles are all actors and theatre directors.
I have a studio in a barn at home - we rehearse there, we film there and we record there. It's fun to hang out with my guys and see what comes out next.
I'm getting in the studio with everybody I've always wanted to work with. That's the amazing thing.
I grew up in the kitchen, mostly with my grandfather, my mother and my aunt Raffy.
My two brothers and I grew up in the theater, going everywhere with my parents when they performed.
