Johnny Cash took three singing lessons as a child. At the end of the third, his teacher told him he didn’t need them, to stop coming, and to never let anyone change his natural singing style.
According to biography research, Johnny began writing poems and songs as early as 12-years-old, honing in on his love for music and lyrics at an early age, which undeniably gave his talent more decades to develop. But what Johnny came by naturally was the unequaled lilt of his voice.
His mother, Carrie, sensed his vocal ability and scraped together enough cash to send him to singing lessons.
After only three lessons with his new vocal coach, his teacher found his voice so electrifyingly special that she told him to stop taking lessons and never pursue further vocal instruction.
