A Child’s Mind
Music Legend Desmond Child Speaks to SocialMiami.com
“My induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame is a fulfillment of the American Dream,” said Desmond Child from the South Beach condo of longtime friend, Debbie Ohanian. “I grew up in the projects, close to where Edison high school is. My parents were divorced and my mom spoke very little English. She earned a living by flipping burgers, and that was often our dinner -– leftover, soggy burgers at 10 o’clock at night. To me, that is ground zero. That’s where I started out and that’s where I swore I would never go back to. That’s why I have 70 top 40 hits, because you can be from the ghetto and if you work hard, you can make it to the top.”
