× I'm interested to singing and the music
✓ I'm interested in singing and music
The verb 'interested' is followed by the preposition 'in' and then a gerund (-ing form). The phrase 'interested to singing' is incorrect; it should be 'interested in singing'. Also, 'the music' is better as 'music' here because it refers to music in general.
× I did not take any, uh, singing class
✓ I did not take any singing classes
The phrase 'singing class' should be plural 'singing classes' to indicate any classes in general. Also, 'did not take' is correct past tense, but the noun should be plural to match the context.
× I don't have nice voice
✓ I don't have a nice voice
The noun 'voice' is singular and countable, so it requires the indefinite article 'a' before it. The phrase 'nice voice' without an article is incorrect.
× I always try to sing better not to impress but to relax my
✓ I always try to sing better, not to impress but to relax myself
The sentence is incomplete and lacks the reflexive pronoun 'myself' after 'relax'. Also, a comma is needed before 'not to impress' to separate the clauses clearly.
× Although we people don't have nice boys, they can sing and enjoy singing
✓ Although we people don't have nice voices, they can sing and enjoy singing
The word 'boys' is incorrect in this context; it should be 'voices' to refer to singing ability. Also, 'voices' is plural to match 'we people'.
