ROOKIE YEAR “I was studying piano at U of T and not doing very well when I asked my teacher, ‘Do you think I’ll make it as a pianist?’ and he said, ‘No.’ So I went out and drank about five shots of Jägermeister, and when I slammed down the glass after the fifth shot, I said, ‘Dammit, I really just want to sing.’ So that was that.”
