In an interview, she talked about her childhood and said, The earliest I can remember is when I was maybe 9 or 10, making up my own melodies and singing them around the house or for guestsIve been surrounded by a lot of music from a very young age, and I guess whats interesting to me now is that I never thought it was unusual to be creating my own music all the while..Growing up in Lahore, when her parents refused to enrol her in music classes, she taught herself to play the guitar. In an interview, while talking about her childhood, she said, I taught myself how to play guitar, because my parents were worried that if I had lessons Id mess up my studies which is exactly what happened..
