Autobiography nicked off michellebranch.net The earliest documentation of my singing was when I was three years old. My parents decided that we were going to make a tape of me singing my most favorite songs and send it to my Grandma. I sang with perfect pitch, although I didn't know most of the words. That didn't change. When I was four until I was about seven I thought the words to "Ticket to Ride" from The Beatles was really "She's got a chicken to ride." I was heartbroken when I found out the real words. That was probably the point when I decided to write my own songs. After all, I thought my words were better. I would watch musicals constantly. My favorites were "Oklahoma" and "The Sound Of Music." I would act like I was in the films, singing the songs word for word, dressing up like the characters and putting on plays with my sister for our family. Even though my audience wasn't very large, I thrived on performing. I was gonna be a Broadway star when I grew up. I forgot how old I was when I witnessed a life-changing event. No, I wasn't diagnosed with a deadly illness and I didn't get any visions of the future, nothing fancy like that. keep reading -->
