It's actually harder to write a fun song.

My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew

I went through the process of auditioning like every other struggling actress in this town.

I've made money doing things I love. DJing was a hobby. When I bought my turntables my mom said, "Oh what now, Taryn?" But it became pretty fruitful right away. I come from a very music-oriented family.

I grew up in a very musical household. There was music and dance. My great-grandma was a famous tap dancer in the '40s, my mom was a dancer, she met my dad on the road when he was on tour in the '60s. Music is my heart and soul, it's my love.

Through teaching myself how to be happy and get through things, I hope I can also do that for other people.

I'm not really into movies on dates because you can't chat it up.
