I got into singing when I was 6.

I was the youngest of three kids, and from the age of four, singing was my way of getting attention.

When I was 3 or 4, I seemed to be bursting with music. They played Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Frank Sinatra in the house, so I learned my vocabulary from song lyrics - I was literally singing before I was talking.

I remember growing up singing; even when I was just three years old, I was singing all the time in the house. My parents said I was singing before I could even talk properly.

I discovered at the age of five that I could sing, and I realised people liked it. The sound that came out made people happy, so I kept doing it.

I've been singing ever since I was little, but I didn't start taking it seriously until I was about 15 or 16.

All through my young life I wanted to sing, although nobody in my family knew it.

I've been singing since I was nine or ten.

It seems like I've always been singing, at least since I was 5.

I saw The Sound of Music when I was 10 and thought that it was the most beautiful singing I had ever heard.
