I sang in church choir all my life, through elementary school, junior high and high school.

I sang in choir as a kid.

We went to church every Sunday. When I was a kid, the only time I sang was around my family.

I've been singing forever; I grew up singing in church.

My mother raised me in the church. I was not allowed to stay home on Sunday; there was no option. I sang in the choir all the way up until I went to college.

I grew up singing in church. I've been doing that since I was 3 years old. Singing was a blessing for me to do.

My father started me singing in church.

The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.

I've sung other people's music all my life.

It was my Mum who got me into singing properly - she knew I had to do something with my voice because she knew I was talented. She was the one who pushed me into joining a choir all those years ago, when I was about 12. I remember she told me to start with the choir and just see where it took me.
