He picked it up and made some noise and has been playing ever since that day. After jamming with some friends in his basement they started getting some stuff together with a couple in a trailer in the middle of nowhere. The trailer was cold in the winter and infested by bees in the summer. The mic’s use to shock their lips because of grounding issues but they we started working on their own songs. Working with a great producer, tough times and having a Psycho girlfriend started to make some killer tunes.   All in small Town USA.  Greg realized he had to move to the city to be closer to the music scene and just how much he still had to learn. So he packed his bags and headed for college.  It was a big change for a small towner but he learned and he played building his skills and writing songs is what he did. His hard work paid off when an HR manager was invited to Greg’s senior showcase by one of his instructors and really liked what he heard.  Signing Greg and shipping him to Los Angeles at the end of Summer for a crash course at Musician’s Institute to pick up some band mates and then heading out on tour.  For now Greg is excited to be spending time with his friends, writing songs, and simply looking forward to what is to come.<br/><br/><strong>Other:</strong> Greg is out spoken, outgoing and generally a nice helpful guy.  He dreams of being a famous rock star but has always tried to avoid the “egotistical, greedy, only out for himself and the dollar sign” mentality that can go with fame.</div><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Erion2451/imagesqtbnANd9GcTywojFJDFgn3X7nIpcJUrCuIHqF5-5jf5bfLWhE6KyrsJIsInPdA.jpg)</div><div align="center"><strong>Name:</strong> Rachel Ransom<br/><strong>Age and Birthdate:</strong> 20 January 12, 1991<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Heterosexual<br/><strong>Talent:</strong> Singing (country, rock, hip hop); dancing (pop-and-lock, jazz)<br/><strong>Background:</strong> Rachel was born and raised in Dallas, Texas to two loving and doting parents.  A cowgirl from an early age, she was riding a horse before she could walk.  It was discovered early that she had a gift for music and learned to read music and sing in the church choir.  She began learning how to dance at the age of nine after joining a local dance school because her friends were doing so.  Like singing, she was a fast learner and seemed to be a natural.  Her parents capitalized on her interests and enrolled her into private lessons for the next seven years.<br/><br/>By the age of sixteen, Rachel was already a local star.  Regardless of early success, her parents demanded that she finish high school before pursuing any type of career and refused to consider any offers by record labels.  By the time Rachel turned eighteen and graduated, the hype around her had cooled down.  Despite this, Rachel decided to pursue a career in music and moved to California in hopes of catching a break.  After thirteen months of nothing, Rachel enrolled at a community college and began taking general classes.  It wasn’t until a few months ago that she finally was recognized and offered a position with the group.<br/><br/><strong>Other:</strong> Rachel is talented and isn't afraid of hard work.  She takes people at face value and trusts people until they prove they are untrustworthy.  She's not completely naive, despite her age and inexperience.  She's a sincere person who doesn't care for "high school" drama, backstabbing, or in-fighting.  She may try to sugarcoat it, but she isn't afraid to speak her mind either.</div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><div class="floatleft">(http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/fp/Channing+Tatum+Leaving+Gym+Beverly+Hills+eGCwHyTLpO-l.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Olly Johnson<br/><strong>Played by:</strong> Trey Walker<br/><strong>Age and Birthdate:</strong> He is 22, born December 4th 1990.<br/><strong>Height and Weight</strong>: 6’0” and 185lbs.<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Heterosexual<br/><strong>Major:</strong> Self Taught<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> Olly has always wanted to be in the music business. Since he was young he could be found singing, trying to learn instruments, dancing and doing sports. When he got older, the sports became less important. He fully focuses on his music and for four years from 16 to 20, that was all he did.<br/><br/>But after four years of not being able to reach the heights of stardom that he wanted, and not finding any work as a singer, a music producer or a writer, Olly stopped trying to become famous and started to hit the clubs as a DJ and just generally to party. Just under two years of his life were spent flirting with women, and drinking his worries away.<br/><br/>That was until he got a break. At a club whilst he was DJing, a performer no showed and Olly filled in. Fortunately for him some music executive's heard him and signed him up to be in a group.<br/><br/><strong>Other:</strong> Olly was a confident straight forward guy, but then the lack of success knocked his confidence. He became a shell of himself, only alive when he was DJing or clubbing. He's now on a path trying to find his old self now that he's signed to this new group.</div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><div class="floatleft">(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jUKaS7FeOAY/SZzorsFQQ1I/AAAAAAAAAQ0/Fi89U6OjiDg/s400/l_259c6a8ba005e0d856389f00f08a1687.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Samuel "Sammy" Gray<br/><strong>Played by:</strong> TheRaven<br/><strong>Age and Birthdate:</strong> 25, born August 9th, 1991<br/><strong>Height and Weight:</strong> 5'10" and 150 lbs.<br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong> Heterosexual<br/><strong>Talent:</strong> Keyboard and vocal music. He's a baritone, if you wanna get specific.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> Sammy has a pretty easy background to describe. Suburban, upper-middle class, riding the bottom of the social ladder. Yeah, he was <em>that</em> kid. You told him Britney Spears? He'd take Siouxsie Sioux any day. He had a natural knack for music, particularly keyboards and vocals, discovered when his parents had him taking lessons as a little kid. He didn't exactly think the music business was where he would end up, but apparently a talent agent caught a few bars of his rendition of Mozart's 14th played in an upscale nightclub, and decided he was worth the investment on keyboarding alone.<br/><br/>When the act he was working with fell apart after an incident involving one member and another's girlfriend, he decided to move on to a new scene, and figured he'd take the plunge feet-first into pop and see where it landed him. One of the first things he was advised to do was either change his stage name or drop it entirely, considering that "Dorian Gray" probably wouldn't do much for the pop world. He reluctantly let his moniker go, and went back to his old high school nickname of Sammy.<br/><br/><strong>Other:</strong> He attended college for Film Studies, but dropped out when he was signed.</div>
