I also learned today that she's previously recorded, although I think it was done independently. I think your point is that success is whatever you define it to be, and I'd have to agree. I success for her means simply being able to sing, then she's been a success since she was 12. If success for her was wrapped up in the general idea of 'making it big' then she may have felt unsuccessful for a long time. There's something there about how using your talents can shape your idea of success, but I need to incubate it a bit more to see how that relationship works clearly! @Minerva: Thanks for pointing out my error.

Her success is the 36 years between 12 and 48. She's getting fame now and hopefully money. It’s funny because she’s been using, honing, sharing and loving her talent since she was 12, 12.
