My mother was a classical pianist and my stepfather was an industrialist who was passionate about composing contemporary music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.
Both my grandfathers and my mother's brother were musicians.
My parents met in music school and my father was a music professor and conductor. Growing up, we always had classical and contemporary music playing. There was a lot of Mozart and the Beatles.
My grandfather was not a musician but he was an artist - a painter, a decorative painter.
My mother and dad loved music, were very much into music.
My father knew classical music very well. Driving in the car, listening to the radio, he could name every composer, every movement, what piece it was. I was fascinated by the way he recognized who wrote what.
Both of my parents were musicians.
My grandfather was a massive influence in my music. Growing up, he would play a lot of old-school records to me. A lot of jazz and swing music, actually, growing up.
My father was a classical musician and my mother was a writer.
Genetically, I have tons of musical background in my life. My mother's father was a famous Weimar-era composer, Ernst Toch. My father's mother was the head of the Vienna Conservatory's piano department. It all canceled out in my case. I'm completely hopeless in music.
