Everyone in my family sang, and we would always sing these songs.

I always sang harmony with my family growing up.

My family was very musical. My brother is an opera singer; my parents both sang.

I came from a folk-family background. Although we weren't really the all-singing, all-dancing-around-the-piano folkies or anything like that, there is that idea of singing and playing with your parents and your family and your cousins.

I sang in the choir for years, even though my family belonged to another church.

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

My family's a very musical family, so music's always been a part of my life.

All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.

My grandmother sang, too, and she was really loud. It was this wild kind of singing. I count her among my influences.
