Elvis Stojko Quotes

I came from a huge extended family of musicians.

Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.

Well I'm a third-generation musician. My Grandfather's a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I'm a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician 'cause I was born into the family.

I am not from a musical family.

I come from a family of musicians.

Everyone in my family has been in music - my cousins, my grandmother, my grandfather - so it's quite a big family tree.

My family is all musicians - my dad plays drums, my mom plays flute, my older brother plays drums, my little brother plays drums and piano. For some reason, I didn't get the memo, so I just play bass.

Playing with my grandfather, grandmother and my parents, I came to music pretty naturally.

I'd say music runs in my blood. My parents are exceptionally talented singers, so even before I was born, it was a known fact to them that I'd become a singer. Thanks to my genes, I started off at the age of three and since then, music has meant everything to me.

My mother was a singer, and both of her sisters were singers. There was always music around.

You must remember I grew up around music. Three of my family were musicians.

Our parents were musicians.

I had aunts who played piano and sang and also were entertainers, so music was very much a part of my life.

I learned to sing from my mum and dad's record collection.

My grandma's into music. My mom is a singer. Even my sister is a much better singer than I am. So you could say music runs in the family.

My dad was a drummer for The Mamas & The Papas, and his mother was in the jazz world, so music has always been very much in my blood.

My father played music, so I was always around music, even from the time I was born. My father actually was the one that originally got me into music.

My father was a classical pianist, and my mother was a singer of just about everything.

My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat.

Music was around in my family in two ways. My mother would occasionally sing to me, but I was mostly stimulated by the classical music my father had left behind. I had an ear for music, I suppose, so that's what began my interest in music.

Writing songs is an essential part of my life: my mother teaches piano, and I have inherited my grandparents' passion for music, especially from my grandfather Tommy, who was a great drummer. It's no coincidence that I play the drums best, but I am also good with the guitar and the piano.

And my daddy could play a harmonica and also the guitar, so I guess I got a little bit from both of 'em, but I think mostly from my mother's side of the family.

My mom is actually a former prima ballerina, and all the women in my family are associated either with dance or choreography or acting, so I'm very lucky in a way because I grew up in a family of artists. I've been dancing since I was a little kid.

I started singing when I was five. I grew up the youngest of four kids who all studied classical piano, so you could say I've been listening to music ever since the moment of conception.

I come from a musical family as well as a culinary family.
