I went to community college for about a year but I'd started taking music seriously by then so I dropped out.

I initially wanted to work in the music industry more on the A&R side. While I was in school, I began working in the New Business department of an advertising firm, and very quickly I was responsible for roughly 70% of their business, so you could say I had a natural knack for the advertising world.

I had no idea that I could sustain a career as an artist. But, I loved music and wanted to be in the music business.

Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.

I was working a corporate job, but I really wanted to do music.

My musical education started in the limelight, because I found myself surrounded by real musicians, but after my career had taken off.

When I finished school, I didn't continue to go to university, because I decided I wanted to do music.

Before I'd even started doing music or having opportunities with my own music, I was studying production and business and stuff anyway. I knew there were so many jobs within the music industry - songwriting or session playing or working at a label - and I was really interested in how it all works.

Actually, I majored in marketing and I have a bachelor of science.
