I’m the youngest in a family of 5. My mom sings, my brother sings, my sister sings, and my dad is our biggest supporter, so pretty much came out the womb musical. My siblings are 8 years and 10 years older than me, so I grew up going to all of their concerts and recitals, and it doesn’t just stop at my direct family. My mom comes from a very musical family. She’s always singing with her two sisters, one of whom, Jeannette Bayardelle, is an acclaimed Broadway actress currently starring in “Girl from the North Country.” Going to family events and watching everyone sing and perform was something I’ve been doing since before I remembered, and it was always something I wanted to take part in too. In fact, it was my sister and brother who convinced my parents to not let me quit piano when I was having doubts about it in middle school. That said, my family is just as athletic as we are musical. I love sports. I watch a lot of college and professional sports from football and basketball, to baseball and lacrosse. I grew up playing basketball, lacrosse and running track. Of course I’m always rooting for the University of Virginia, my alma mater, athletic programs, and for the Lakers and the Yankees. If you follow me on Twitter you know if I’m not tweeting about music, I’m live tweeting sports games. So if I wasn’t doing music today, I guarantee you I’d be working the sports industry. Always looking for a way to get free tickets.
