What was your earliest ambition?
I think it was actually just writing and making music. I used to write little songs and record them on cassette when I was very young – I still remember some of them. I was also in a band called The Golden Girls when I was probably about seven. We would perform at yard-time and we even did a tour of the other classrooms with our teacher’s permission. We had some originals, and Oops! . . . I Did It Again was definitely on our set list complete with dance moves.
