1. How old were you when you first started playing Sax?
Started on accordion at age 7 eventually moved to flute at age 19 and sax at 20.
1. How old were you when you first started singing?
I practically came out of the womb dancing and singing lol. I used to joke a lot for my family before I realized I had any talent. I was 6 years old when my uncle threatened to put his war ridden feet on me if I didn't be still and sing for real. I then began to sing Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All" and from that moment I knew I'd sing for the rest of my life. Then followed drums, piano, and flute.
1. How old were you when you first started making music?
I started playing piano and guitar when I was about seven years old, but I started singing pretty quickly after I started talking. My father was a radio DJ for a Spanish language radio station in Connecticut so music was always on in our home. We couldn’t get away from it if we tried. I started to mimic the singers that I would hear. It became my favorite past time.
1. How old were you when you first started singing?
- I probably started singing in the womb. But my parents noticed I had talent after I sang at a school assembly in front of the whole school and all the parents and at that point it was clear that singing would be a big part of my life. I think I was around five or six years old. And from that point on, nobody could shut me up lol.
