At 15 I wrote my first song. And then I discovered Diane Warren, and David Foster, and a handful of the biggest producers and songwriters of the 90s, and I found out that there were these people that wrote all these songs, so the same person wrote ten number ones, I couldn’t believe it. So then I started studying their songs in my spare time. I would literally learn them on piano, and then I would change the lyrics, or I would take the chords and I’d change the melody. I’d manipulate the songs until it was something that I had written, and I didn’t know it at the time but I was kind of giving myself a masterclass in songwriting.
