My dad wasn't the biggest role model, but he was a great musician and I loved him very much. He was a character.

I grew up in a very musical family, my father was a musician and a big band leader and made records.

My parents were both in show business. My father was an actor, my mom an actress, and both singers, dancers and actors. They met in Los Angeles doing a play together and so I grew up in a show biz family.

My parents were serious working musicians, but they were not stars - not like pop stars that you have now. They had to make a living and that meant touring, working hard, going on the road - and we were roped in.

My dad is my biggest influence on me as a musician, even though he's not a musician.

While not a musician, my father was a music agent for years before becoming pop culture icon Famous Amos.

My father was a very disciplined singer who worked hard at his craft, and I was around that growing up.

I grew up on my dad's sets, but I was never star-struck or desperate to be famous. I grew up being a worker. It took me a long time to realise that my work ended up being seen by people. As far as I was concerned, I was just in the family business.

I wanted to be a rock star when I grew up, or at least a singer/songwriter.

My dad's a lighting director. Growing up in Hollywood, I was around the entertainment industry all the time. I knew I'd end up in show business in some capacity, eventually.
