But it was not until his parents bought him his first guitar at the age of 12 that he began to embrace his musicality. At age 14 he began to sing and write his own songs, and at 18, he got the incredible opportunity to travel to the United States to write music in Tennessee, New York and at the iconic Capitol Records in Los Angeles.
