At the age of nine, Molloy was at a local church with his family and saw a man playing ''Amazing Grace'' on the saxophone. This inspired him to also want to play the instrument, and his parents got him an alto saxophone the following Christmas. Molloy received private lessons and also played in his high school's band.
