A short interview excerpt in which singer Kendra Erika explains that she was "born tone deaf," recounts humorous early performances (singing "Happy Birthday" incorrectly and performing at her parents' dinner parties), and describes having the confidence but initially lacking the vocal skillset—implying a subsequent process of learning to overcome it.

So I was born tone deaf.
And being tone deaf, explain to the audience what that really means as well.
When I was singing Happy Birthday to myself, I was like, happy birthday to you. Like, I'm not joking. If I bring up the video, you'll see what I'm talking about.
What steps did you take to to overcome that once you realize that, oh, yeah, I am tone deaf?
Well, that's the thing. I didn't realize I was because I would perform for my parents and their friends at their dinner parties, and my parents would have to bring out, like, extra bottles of wine in order to tolerate. It was like, oh, Kendra's performing. Bring out the other bottle of know. Here she goes. So. But I had the confidence. Just the skill set was not in place yet, but it became in place.
