I Was Slightly Brain Damaged At Birth,

It Was My Mum Who Got Me Into Singing Properly - She Knew I Had To Do Something With My Voice Because She Knew I Was Talented. She Was The One Who Pushed Me Into Joining A Choir All Those Years Ago, When I Was About 12. I Remember She Told Me To Start With The Choir And Just See Where It Took Me.

My Love Of Singing Is Hereditary.

When You're A Child, Grownups Always Tell You That "sticks And Stones Will Break Your Bones, But Words Will Never Hurt You". They Say It As If It's A Kind Of Spell That's Going To Protect You. I've Never Seen The Logic Of It. Cuts And Bruises Quickly Disappear. You Forget All About Them. The Psychological Wounds Inflicted By Bullies With Words Go Much Deeper.

I Was Slightly Brain Damaged At Birth, And I Want People Like Me To See That They Shouldn't Let A Disability Get In The Way. I Want To Raise Awareness - I Want To Turn My Disability Into Ability.

Nothing Is Impossible. It Can Be Downright Difficult, But Not Impossible.
