You have said before that “Music saved my life!” Could you elaborate a bit?
I grew up in an alcoholic family. My grandparents raised me. My mother was only 17 when I was born so my grandparents raised me until I was 14 years old and everybody drank. Everybody in the family had a drinking problem, so the only way I felt happy when I was a kid was singing. But I was singing all the time. My grandfather called me “little song” because I was constantly singing. That’s how music saved my life because every time I felt sad or something not so nice happened in my life, I would sing about it.
