Music was a central part of my childhood because my mother played organ and piano in the church, and that meant all us kids had to be in the church choir.

I grew up in a time when being a musician and learning to be a musician was actually very wonderful.

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.

One of the things that was a blessing for me is my parents were music lovers. Neither of my parents played an instrument, but they were avid record buyers. And I grew up at every age listening to all kinds of music.

I have always loved music. My mom used to sing with my sister and I when I was younger, and I was in choirs and loved to perform, but when I was in college, I went on a study abroad to Trinidad, and while I was there, I sang backup at my first concert.

I was raised around music.

I grew up with a wide range of music.

From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something.

Music had been my first love among the arts, and I was fascinated by it, as I still am.

I was born loving music. It was always my friend.
