I think I was affected quite a bit by musical and creative influences that go all the way back to my childhood.

The biggest musical influence on me was my mum. We were both enraptured by music.

Music has always been a dominant force in my life. As a young kid, it was a way for me to escape everyday life.

My musical influence is really from my father. He was a DJ in college. My parents met at New York University. So he listened to, you know, Motown, and he listened to Bob Dylan. He listened to Grateful Dead and Rolling Stones, but he also listened to reggae music. And he collected vinyl.

I was raised around music.

I had a very thorough grounding in music; I'd grown up around songs. My parents listened to a lot of music. My dad was majorly into jazz, which was absolutely a big influence on me, even if it was more subconsciously as a kid.

Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.

My dad's music was a great inspiration to me.

I was crazy for music as a high school kid and a college kid.

I grew up with a wide range of music.
