Ten Questions for James Collins!
1. How old were you when you first started making music?
I only ever dabbled with playing guitar when I was a teenager. I was a late bloomer with regards to songwriting. Didn't realize I could potentially make a career or partial career in that industry until I was in my late 20s / early 30s.

1. How old were you when you first started playing music?
Everyone knows me for playing the guitar, but the drums were my first instrument. I started on the drums when I was 2 years old and played them until I was 5. My family and I moved from Florida to Louisiana when I was 4, and about a year or so after we made it here my dad needed space for his home studio so he packed up my drum set and there went my drum career lol. Not long after that, a friend of my dad's came out of the blue with an acoustic guitar for me to try out. I was instantly hooked. Later, I asked for an electric guitar and my dad got me a small Fender Squire and a 4 track cassette tape recorder. I used that to learn how to record audio from an early age as well as how to write melodies and harmonies.

Ten Questions for KIM SCOTT
1. How old were you when you first started playing flute?
I began playing flute in the 5th grade at the age of 10 years old. Prior to that, I started on piano and quickly advanced on the instrument before learning violin. When I picked up the flute, however, I was totally captivated by the shiny, petite instrument! I was intrigued so much that I only wanted to focus on learning it so I put the other instruments on the back burner for a while. My mother is a classically trained pianist and a retired music educator and my father played saxophone. They even had a pretty famous band back in the 70s called The Dynamic Soul Machine, which was signed to the famous Stax Records. So, music has always been important to me and my family, and it was constantly present in my home when I was growing up.
