Yes, my first memory of singing, in general, was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Singing was something I always did. I really don't remember a time when I wasn't singing, even as a little child.
I remember growing up singing; even when I was just three years old, I was singing all the time in the house. My parents said I was singing before I could even talk properly.
I remember when I thought of singing as the bit that went between the guitar playing - something I couldn't wait to get out of the way. Singing was originally like a chore that I didn't really enjoy.
Growing up, I can remember singing along with my ma all of the time. I wouldn't say she necessarily 'taught' me how to sing, but she was definitely the first person to inspire me to sing and the first to intrigue me vocally. I've always had a natural ear for music, though.
No, I've been singing forever. I started out doing musicals. I think that was part of the reason why they gave me the part, because I sang.
I don't remember ever not singing. My mother loved music, and she taught me songs, country music, spirituals. I would sing for people and pass the hat when I was 4.
I think my first musical memory is actually listening to Billie Holiday. I think I must have been, like, 3 or 4 years old.
I actually started singing in church when I was about five years old. I remember looking at the choirs and just hearing all of those great big beautiful voices. And there was this one woman who could just wail. And I remember trying to sing like her when I was like going home.
I first started to sing when I started to talk. As soon as I could form words and sounds together, I was singing.
I can't even remember the first time I started singing.
