Growing up, my parents always played artists like Alanis Morissette, Aerosmith and Michael Jackson, so I just grew to love their music. And I just love so many diverse artists for different reasons; some for their instruments, some for their edge, some for their vocals. Manika aerosmithalanisartist share on social
Growing up, my parents did everything they knew how to do to support me. My dad was always kinda my roadie; he drove me from gig to gig. But I got my own gigs. I was this 12-year-old kid, shuffling business cards, calling people, telling them I wanted to play. Crystal Bowersox businesscallcard share on social
Growing up, my parents were healthy eaters and starting to run and compete when I was 13, I knew the need to focus on what you need to eat.

Growing up, my sisters and I would always talk stories. One of my frustrations was I didn't know anything about cameras.

So I was learning to draw to get down the stuff that was in my head, that I couldn't afford to actually do. Jennifer Yuh Nelson affordbudgetcamera share on social
