Name a song from early childhood that made you begin to realize you may want to be a musician

It's interesting how early on you can feel a pull towards something. For me, that spark was definitely lit in my early childhood, courtesy of my dad's music collection. I vividly recall sneaking his Aerosmith CDs and just getting completely lost in those first three albums. While I can't name one specific track, the whole vibe and raw energy emanating from those records, played over and over again, truly opened my eyes. It was the collective sound of those early Aerosmith tunes that made me start thinking, 'Yeah, this is the world I want to be a part of; this is what I want to do.'

What is the first artist, album, or song you remember from childhood?

When I think back to my earliest memories of music, it's all tied to my dad's record collection. I used to 'borrow' his Aerosmith CDs, especially those first three albums. I just couldn't get enough of them; they were my constant soundtrack. That raw energy, those unforgettable tunes – that's what really hooked me, long before I even dreamed of picking up a guitar myself. Aerosmith was undoubtedly the very first artist, and those initial records were the soundtrack to my childhood.
