I took to the luge when I was very young, but I never imagined that it would become my passion. At 14, I was already competing on artificial tracks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was young, all I wanted to do was to compete, have fun and travel.
I come from a family rooted in the arts, so I think I naturally gravitated towards performing from an early age.
When I was a kid. I had traveled the world by the time I was 13 years old because of all the competitions I did for inline skating.
I kind of realized I could sing, so I played around with that for a while. And that led me to acting in itself, which I came more passionate about by the age of 15.
Performing on stage is what I've done since I was a kid and it's where the passion that has started from the very beginning for me, and that's what I'm going to enjoy.
Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.
I started track and field when I was 12 and didn't get to an Olympic Games until I was nearly 23. By any stretch of the imagination that's a very long apprenticeship.
I just love performing so much, and I threw myself into every musical theater production that was going in my home town and at school. And then, I went to the National Youth Music Theatre, which was really a galvanizing experience for me when I was 17.
As soon as I started dancing at 14, I knew I was always going to be a professional dancer.
I started making music professionally when I was 14.
