When I was very young I was taken by my family to London to see ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ at ‘Her Majesty’s Theatre’.

I was so utterly mesmerized by the unbelievably gorgeous singing that I heard and I wished that I could be able to sing like that! I came home singing the songs and afterwards I would practice singing for hours and hours at the top of our stairs (which had an amazing echo)!  It was this experience that made me realize that I had to become a singer some day!
