BASIC: Can you talk to us about your upbringing and when you fell in love with the piano?

CHLOE: I have been in love with music since I was born, my parents say. Apparently, when certain piano concertos would come on the radio or record player, I would jump up in my crib and dance and yell. My parents said I was able to recognize my favorite melodies before I could even walk or talk. So, as soon as I was able to they started me on piano, violin and cello.
