I have been nervous before, but I have never had stage fright.

Well, I was in a band. I was the singer with a band called the Soul Satisfiers. I sang then quite a bit of Jazz and some Top 40 stuff.

I had a fear of being alone.

People are intimidated when they first meet me, but it doesn't take them long to realise I'm just an average person.

I loved the fact that I could get on stage and be in control.

Performing was easy because I believed that I could sing, but that was an outside thing.

Low self-esteem comes from who you assess yourself to be. It's about who you are, and I didn't think I was anything or anybody.
