In my sr. year of high school I was asked by a friend's band to sing our class song, Today by the Smashing Pumpkins at graduation with them. I had never sang in front of anyone, in fact the only reason I was asked was because I shaved my head and looked like Billy Corgan. Fortunately I could sing like him too and the performance was a hit, after which time I was asked to join the band and 2 years later we signed a record deal with Universal Music, and it all started with the song Today!
