What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? Growing up, the house was always filled with music, so I think that I probably just absorbed it in a similar way to the literature I’ve spoken about. We would tend to have classical music – especially Tchaikovsky and Mozart – at breakfast (though I didn’t appreciate that enough as a surly sleepy teenager, I do now!) and then various playlists at dinner. An early memory is my parents having dinner parties, and when I went up to bed I could still hear the music playing; I still have some of those playlists and certain songs still remind me of that time. That’s one of the amazing things about music, its ability to transport back to times and places long gone.
