I went into college undeclared. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I knew that music was obviously this central big important thing in my life that I was gonna keep doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I finished school, I didn't continue to go to university, because I decided I wanted to do music.
I was kind of torn between playing music or playing college football. I was going to college and really focusing on my music career.
Some people go to college. For me I studied music my whole life. That was my college.
Once I discovered music, I knew what I wanted to do.
I'm actually one of the few kids in my grade, especially girls, who didn't end up going to college, just because I already knew what I wanted to do. I had already been actively working in music before I graduated.
I knew I wanted to be in music, but I didn't know my role, so I did everything from interning at Rolling Stone to writing heavy metal fanzines to playing in a high-school band, and I think all those things probably helped in a way.
I don't even know what made me start wanting to do music. It just... happened. Because I sat in my basement all the time, and music was my best friend, and I just wanted to be a part of it.
I still picture myself as a student of the music. I'm always trying to learn new things. Music is just what makes me tick.
I think music has always been what I always wanted to do, but I didn't know how or when I was going to get discovered.
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
