What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? Just hearing music and watching Beatles movies as a kid made me realise I wanted to do that, I used to walk around singing into a tennis racket turned upside down so it looked like a microphone when I was about 3. I then had my own songs going around my head from the age of 7 upwards but could not play an instrument (as I was born with one arm) nor read/write music so I just wrote down the lyrics in a notebook and kept singing the song to myself hoping to remember it. Eventually, when I was in my teens, I found a way to play guitar with one hand and from then on I could realise the tunes in my head. I think if I hadn't gotten into music, I would be a novelist or a stand-up comedian.
