My parents never pushed me towards music. I feel like, growing up in a musical household and always being surrounded by it, I was always kind of a performer child. I remember my parents would have guests over, and they would bring their kids, and I would make sure that we were ready to put a show on.

Dua Lipa

My dad is a lawyer and my mom is an artist. So growing up was exactly what it sounds like - strict household but a lot of creativity. They are so psyched that I get to make music for a living. My parents rule.

Ty Segall

New York City pretty much reeked of music. Reeked of rap and hip-hop. As for me, growing up in a strict West Indian, Trinidadian household, and a Christian household as well, I had to fight for the right to go and actually be a part of it.

Phife Dawg

I grew up in a Caribbean family household, so the parents are always right. My father smacked me up til I was 20. It was a strict household.

Wyclef Jean

Ask about music growing up, I'll tell you I grew up playing classical music, and I didn't grow up in a musical household.

Maggie Rogers

I've an enormous respect for my mother who at the age of 39 raised three children, and I grew up with my grandmother in the household. And so it was a really strong household of women - my poor brother! It was great growing up with so many generations of women.

Cate Blanchett

My parents brought me up on all different styles of music, like my Mum would listen to Motown R&B and my Dad was quite 80's driven, so I was always surrounded by music growing up.

Ella Henderson

I guess I wanted to emulate the artists that my parents were listening to when I was growing up. I've always had this affinity for folk music, and music in general, for as long as I can remember. So as soon as I could start playing shows, I did. And my parents were really supportive of me the entire time.

Sarah Jaffe

Growing up in my household with seven women, I'd hear all types of music.

Flo Rida

My parents told me they were going to kill me at least a thousand times growing up. "I'm gonna kill you," and then they'd whack me on the side of the head or whatever. And "What's wrong with you?" And "I'm gonna lock you up," and "I'm gonna throw you out the window," and "I'm gonna kill you." You know, all these things that you say in the heat of a normal chaotic household.

Dave Eggers

My parents were pretty lenient with me. But, they gave me morality while I was growing up. They taught me the difference between right and wrong.

Mark Hoppus

My parents met in music school, and my father was a music professor and conductor. Growing up, we always had classical and contemporary music playing.

Sara Zarr

When I was growing up, we always had music playing in our household. I enjoy spending time with my father singing.

Pattie Brooks

Growing up as an athlete, I started skating very young. My parents didn't know anything about the sport, so they went with the flow. I had two great coaches who gave great advice and gave guidelines for my parents. My parents let the coaches dictate what was going on on the ice.

Kristi Yamaguchi

I'm really fortunate. I grew up in a wonderful household with great Irish Catholic parents.

Tim Kaine

The singer who really opened the door for me was Sarah Vaughan. But I listen to so much music, especially when I was growing up. My parents loved jazz music, so on Saturday [laughing] it would be the "Longine's Symphonettes," and on Sunday it was Mahalia Jackson.
