I sang and wrote songs when I was 12 years old.

I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.

I came from a very musical family, so I grew up singing karaoke with the family. My family said 'do this' and brought me to singing lessons. I had always been writing poems and songs.

My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.

Both my grandfathers and my mother's brother were musicians.

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

I was the singing boy in school.

My father was a painter. There was a lot of singing. We hung around with a lot of folk musicians. My family knew a lot of great folk musicians of the time, like Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson, Leadbelly. They were all people we knew.

I was inspired to make music since I was 7 because my aunt is a songwriter.
