In junior high I just started playing the guitar. I just like music. It's in my family.

I played a little basketball. Some football in junior high.

As a kid, I was into music, played guitar in a band. Then I started acting in plays in junior high school and just got lost in the puzzle of acting, the magic of it. I think it was an escape for me.

As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.

I started playing the guitar and singing at about 11 or 12.

I probably went all the way to junior high school before a school doctor told me that I was 'dyslexic.'
