I always sang. I wanted to be in a band with my sister, and I was, at 11. At 12, I started writing seriously, and that was my pacifier all through high school - that and painting.

I've been writing songs since I was a little boy. You know, I think I wrote my first song when I was 11.

When I was a kid, I wrote music - from the age of 11 until the age of 18.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.

I got into singing when I was 6.

I started singing very early. I was six or seven years old, and I was singing along to TV commercials and figuring out, 'Oh, hey, I can sing in tune. This is really cool.' But the songwriting thing came much much later, when I was 19 years old.

I wrote music. I was in a hardcore band when I was 14, and I wasn't good enough to play anyone else's songs, so I had to write my own.

I wrote my first song when I was six or seven, a silly little song. But I used to write poems in high school - not songs.

I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about ten.

I started trying to write songs when I was 8 or 9 years old.
