As my life was gaining momentum, my relationship with my family (ie. Granmother and dad) was going down the hill. My father had never supported my extreme zealousy for center stage and although he saw my talent, he believed that all I had was a fertile land which needed to be cultivated. He drew the line once by going, "Whatever you sing, I don't care. If it's music you're after, you should have chosen conservatory instead of an academic degree."
