Did you know that many of the most successful artists today started out as children in their interest and love for music?
The discipline, skill and learning it takes to become a pro in music is best developed when your child is at a young age.
Their parents decided that investing in their child’s musical education is a worthy endeavor, and time and time again, this shows to be true with the success they go on to achieve later in life.
Although there are many successful people whose success was helped by the skills they learned through playing an instrument, in this article we’ll go over today’s famous musicians which started out as children.
1. Taylor Swift
Taylor showed an interest in playing music in her early childhood years. She progressed very quickly in her music career, performing in the local children’s theater and becoming known for her music talent among the local community. She picked up the guitar and started to write songs.
Nowadays she is a renowned pop artist and country music singer and has become a household name. She has received countless awards and nominations for her work.
We doubt that she would have achieved the heights she did if she hadn’t been learning music since a young age.
2. Ed Sheeran
Another very successful artist of the 21st century is Ed Sheeran. He had been playing music since he was a child.
He started writing music in his early teens and he released his first self-made album when he was just 13! Having the discipline and creativity which playing an instrument stimulates in the player, he continued to pursue music, becoming a brilliant artist and pop star.
Receiving multiple awards and nominations, we have no doubt that with the right mindset, determination and mentors, anyone can succeed in becoming a musician of value.
3. Justin Bieber
Yet another household name and a worldwide musical phenomenon, he had been singing since a young age and after winning second place in a local singing contest, he began to post his performances on YouTube.
He had his first recording contract at the age of 15 and ever since then he has been a staple of the modern music culture.
4. Christina Aguilera
A successful musician and pop icon, Christina Aguilera started out her musical career when she was only 8 years old, performing on the hit show Star Search. However, she had started performing in front of her stuffed animals at the age of just 2 years old! It is apparent she had a love for music and performance.
When things got tough, music is what helped her become stronger, move through whatever was happening in her personal life and build a legendary musical career in the process.
5. Bruno Mars
The Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter Bruno Mars, with multiple successful singles, albums and a worldwide musical career performed on stage for the first time when he was only 3 years old!
He was encouraged to play and perform music by his family and performed in a school band. It’s apparent that he had love for music since an early age and he also received support from his family to do what he loved.
Thanks to this encouragement, today we have the gift of his music that we all listen to and love today.
