I never decided to start singing, to be a singer.

I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasn't really great - people didn't really want to be part of the choir, they didn't want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasn't the cool thing to do.

I always wanted to be a singer, but none of my friends thought I could sing.

But I have never wanted to be a singer, because the exterior part of a career, I don't like very much.

I never really wanted to be a singer, because I was a super-shy kid. Singing made me feel awkward, and I was really insecure.

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.

I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.

I only wanted to be a songwriter. I never wanted to be a singer. And I never wanted to be famous.

I just wanted to sing, in church or wherever.

I sang in a reggae band. And then there was a soul band where I sang back-up vocals and some lead. And I was also in a women's a capella group. And I was in the gospel choir at school. Actually, I've always been in choirs. Or some kind of group. Just because I love singing so much. But I truthfully never thought of it as a career.
