Mary Anne catches up with Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear.

Ahead of the release of their first album in five years 'Painted Ruins', we speak to Chris about the role that music plays in childhood.

Chris talks about how the music of Kenny G inspired him to take up saxophone, his first forays into jazz, and shares memories of driving around in his mum's car listening to her records.

What did you listen to when you were younger? Were you inspired by your parents' record collections? Ever learn a musical instrument?

Get in touch and let us know how music shaped you as a child - text 64046, e-mail - maryanne.6music@bbc.co.uk or tweet us @bbc6music.
