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

I've been writing and composing songs since I was 5 years old.

I started writing songs when I was real young, when I was 3 years old. The piano spoke to me - I don't remember when I wasn't playing piano. My second grade talent show was the first time I performed my own thing. I dressed up as Dracula and played a song called 'Monster Rock' that I wrote. And I won.

I started playing the piano, pretty much on my own, when I was 5, and I started writing music when I was 7. In fact, I won a composition award. It was a crummy little piece, but I won with it.

I started writing songs when I was 10. It was a natural way to express myself as a kid. It wasn't until I started listening to jazz, joined the choir and picked up a guitar that my little hobby became something far more serious.

From the time I could play the piano, I remember trying to write tunes. They were in my head, and I would just sit down and start noodling. Next thing I knew, I had written a melody.

I started playing piano when I was around four; that's my first passion.

When I turned 14, I became very obsessed with writing songs, and it took over my existence.

When I was younger, playing piano and guitar were all things that I wanted to do for a short period of time, like any kid.

I started playing music when I was really young.
