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

I think it was when I was 12 when I entered a singing competition. I sang my own original song for an audience of 1,000 people.

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.

Everyone told me I could sing from about the age of ten. My mum was always telling me. But I was so shy, I didn't believe them. And the more that people told me, the more I went into the background and the less likely I was to sing.

I started making music for fun, but I had two parents who were very much in the business. I didn't run around trying to get the spotlight. I was very shy. I never sang in front of people 'til I was about 17 years old.

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

I sang and wrote songs when I was 12 years old.
