Sweet was born into a musical household (in Cape Cod, MA), with a jazz pianist father and an artist mother. Raised on the jazz standards that were part of her father’s repertoire, the singer gravitated to her Dad’s side at the piano to learn musical notes soon after she could walk. Her first public performance followed, when she was 4 years old, at the Cape Cod Conservatory. At the age of 7, following her parent’s divorce, Sweet and her mother moved to Kanab, UT.
