My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.

When I was 7 my dad asked his friend to teach me. I played my first tournament competition when I was 8. I remember I shot around 125.

I grew up with baseball I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I as I grew up became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one.

I was into all kinds of music as a teen - country music because my dad was in a band that played country and whatever my sister and brother were into.

I sort of always had an inkling towards some kind of an art form. I grew up in a very small town and I just figure-skated. My dad played hockey and I was surrounded by sports but it wasn't quite doing it for me. I wasn't totally fulfilled and I did a lot of skating.

My dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years. And when he opened his campaign headquarters back in the early '70s when I was 5 years old my mother wanted me to play the national anthem. And they got an upright piano on the back of a flatbed truck and I played it.

I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band so I always feel at home at a venue.

My dad played fiddle as well.

I'd love to pop back into 'Being Human' as Adam. I love the character so much. I've never really played a character like that. I'm always playing the geek so to play a kid who is very energetic when he wants to be and who is always trying to get the girls was really cool.

Two weeks later we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.
