So I did this from the time I was six till I went solo, I think, when I was 12 or 13.
And it wasn't like I was like a Disney star or something.
So it wasn't like a big scale.
And then when I was 12, I bought my first grand piano with the money I'd saved up.
And so then I started writing songs at the piano, like pop songs and stuff, solo.
And it wasn't cool at that time to be singing with my mom anymore.
Like, you know, kids get really mean in middle school.
And they would, like, make fun of me because we were singing the silliest, like...
like we are the colors of the rainbow and never smoke tobacco and my grandma slid down the mountain.
These are some of the song titles.
So it was very silly and I got made fun of.
And so I wanted to sing pop songs and I went solo and my mom was not stoked about that.
Cause like it had become her career singing with me.
