I think it was when I was 12 when I entered a singing competition. I sang my own original song for an audience of 1,000 people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I sang and wrote songs when I was 12 years old.
I got into singing when I was 6.
I started in 1946 in radio. I was ten years old. I was discovered singing in a school play. Someone was in the audience and it's six degrees of separation.
Ever since I was a kid, I might have been eleven or twelve. I'd be telling anyone who would listen that when I grew up, I wanted to be an artist.
I always sang. I wanted to be in a band with my sister, and I was, at 11. At 12, I started writing seriously, and that was my pacifier all through high school - that and painting.
I've always been singing all my life, but I started playing guitar when I was 19, and that was my final year in university, in law school. I think that happened when I started making a lot of friends who were in the independent music scene.
I was 4 years old when I sang in public for the very first time.
I started singing very early. I was six or seven years old, and I was singing along to TV commercials and figuring out, 'Oh, hey, I can sing in tune. This is really cool.' But the songwriting thing came much much later, when I was 19 years old.
I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.
I sang for my family. And I think probably the first time I sang and got paid for it, I was about 6 or 7.
