We were a very musical family; my mum would play guitar, and her, my dad and aunt would sing and harmonize!

If someone asked what kind of music I play, I wouldn't say I'm a folk singer; however, if folk music means music for the people, and playing music to entertain them and share different messages, then sure, I'd like to think that I'm part folk singer.
