I stumbled into soul music at a very young age. It had something that really spoke to me.

I was introduced to soul music at a very young age - my mom was a soul singer.

I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, which has probably informed the way that I sing on my tracks.

The first seven years of my life, me, my mom and dad and my four older siblings lived in a suburb of Stockholm, and my mom was very active with directing theater. So I basically grew up at the theater on the floors of the shows, so I was really surrounded with music at a young age.

I was definitely surrounded by music and fashion at a very, very young age.

It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.
