Meghan Trainor's father is a huge inspiration to her

Superstar Meghan Trainor has revealed that she is very much like her father, Gary.

During an interview with Billboard magazine, the 'All About That Bass' songstress explained that her father's a huge inspiration to her and she takes after him with her musical ability: "We are both extreme social butterflies with a passion for performing music."

"I grew up watching him at church, and he was always so good at making the crowd happy."

She added that people often commented on the similarities between herself and Gary: "During my performances people have told me, 'The Gary Trainor in you really comes out.'"

The British Phonographic Industry recently confirmed that Trainor's single 'Lips Are Movin'' has now been certified Gold, which means that it has sold 400,000 copies, and her other offering 'Dear Future Husband' has gone silver, selling 200,000 copies.
