My mother and dad loved music, were very much into music.

Both my grandfathers and my mother's brother were musicians.

As a child, I was always very interested in music and had friends who were in the music business. I kind of accidentally fell into it and loved it. There was no reason not to - it was a great career.

I came from a huge extended family of musicians.

Not what you would call a musical family, but my father used to play saxophone, and I discovered many genres of music when I was a child.

Music was always a big part of my family. Only a few of us had the talent - or the courage - to walk out on a stage.

I'm not from a music family at all.

I think I was just lucky to be brought up in a very musical family. My two older brothers were, and still are, very musical and very creative, and music was a big part of my life from a very young age, so it is quite natural for me to become involved in music in the way that I did.
