I was nine when me and my brothers started playing shows.<\/strong> My mother was a singer and was classically trained. She had a scholarship to go to university based on her singing but chose not to make a career from it. There was always music around and it came naturally to us.<\/p>\n

I started playing piano when I was seven.<\/strong> My parents taught us how to play guitar and piano but then we had lessons. My brothers and I sang together and made up our own songs. We\u2019d sing in front of family friends and relatives at home. People responded to it, which encouraged us to take it further. We were young but I remember seeing people such as Elvis and The Jackson 5 on TV and wanting to do the same thing. We felt confident we could do it. The first show we did was at a local arts festival. The three of us stood there and sang a cappella.<\/p>\n

Our parents were never our official band managers.<\/strong> They helped facilitate things early on because we were six, nine and 11 when we started. Our dad is an accountant so he was always very conservative and helped to establish us as a business but we were very committed and wanted to go all the way. We started recording and researching managers and tried to build fans.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been working with my brothers for 20 years.<\/strong> We have a very close bond musically, our influences are all very similar and we have a natural synergy.<\/p>\n

The downside is the nature of working so closely together \u2013 there\u2019s going to be friction when you do just about everything together creatively.<\/strong> The lows are breathing the same air for so many years and having to come up with those distinctions between what is family, what is business, what is the band. There\u2019s no perfect balance. We\u2019ve done really well considering how difficult that can be at times.<\/p>\n

\"ip_66011\"<\/p>\n

Most of our arguments have been between us as a band and other people but with our new album we had our biggest argument ever between ourselves.<\/strong> We\u2019d reached our 20-year mark as a band and had been going non-stop. We weren\u2019t communicating well. All of a sudden we lost patience with each other and stepped away from making the record. I\u2019m the middle brother in the band so I\u2019m often the peacemaker. I\u2019m usually the mediator but in this case it was just a matter of time until we went back to working together. It took a few months.<\/p>\n

Becoming a father is a huge step, regardless of your age.<\/strong> I was 19 when I became a dad. It was an amazing thing. I don\u2019t compare myself to people my own age because I\u2019ve always worked with older people. I\u2019d done so many things by the age of 19 I was in a different place to other people my age \u2013 19 is really young to become a parent, there\u2019s no doubt about it, but I felt capable. You learn how to manage your time a lot better.<\/p>\n

My wife and I have five children.<\/strong> We never said: \u2018We want to have a large family\u2019 but my brothers in the band and I are the oldest of seven siblings. I grew up with a large family surrounded by organised chaos.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m amazed by nature\u2019s ability to take two people and invent completely unique combinations of those personalities<\/strong> \u2013 my kids always surprise me. It\u2019s amazing how you can have so many different types of personalities within your family.<\/p>\n

Hanson\u2019s new album, Anthem, is out now.<\/em><\/p>\n
