Tell us about growing up and how you came into music? I grew up in a great family, I mean there was a lot of fun growling up. I grew up loving music,  miming popular songs and even making my own additions to those songs. Truth is, I can’t work without singing. The only way my parents knew back then if I had fever was by my singing non-stop.
