A Martin Country and western singer 17 years old always used to sing along to my granddad’s old country and western records, and when T got a guitar for my eighth birthday, they were the first tunes I played. My mates were all into Madonna and Michael Jackson so, cof course, they thought I was a bit strange. At the age of ten I began writing songs and when Twas 13 I started taking part in talent contests. Things didn't go too well at first, partly because audiences didn't know the ‘words to the songs Id written, but mostly because of nerves. I gradually lost them, though, as I got used to being on stage, and so my playing and singing improved. I won iy first contest when I was 15 and I've just signed a record deal. Pete Guitarist and singer 50 years old ‘When I was 16 I played lead guitar in a band, doing versions of songs by The Beatles and ‘The Stones. The other guys in the group seemed to think our chances of success were slim, but I took no notice. I was confident Td make a name for myself one day, with or ‘without the rest of the band. Eleft when I was 20 to become a session musician, which was a mistake, I realized afterwards, as it took me away from the one place I wanted to be ~ the stage. Then my wife and I had two children and I decided to put them first and got a more stable job in a bank. Now they've both grown up, ve started performing again songs I write myself, this time. I play the local pubs and clubs at weekends only, which is enough for me at my age! Natasha Violinist 34 years old ‘When T was just seven I was accepted into ‘a music conservatory in Moscow and had. to spend four or five hours a day practis ‘That's a long time for someone of that age to keep their mind on something as inte as that, and I didn't always succeed, Frie and family tried to put me off becoming a professional musician because its such a hard life. They're right of course, but I'm glad I ignored them. Now, as I get older, I want to move away from performing and constant tours, and start composing my ‘music. It also be easier to start my own family if [have a more permanent home. Jake Rap singer 19 years old Tremember when I was five and I sang a couple of songs on the karaoke machine at my uncle's 30th birthday party, When I finished everyone cheered and came up and gave me hugs and kisses. ‘This is good I thought, ‘I could get used to this!" Then at school I performed in plays and musicals, ~ always the lead part, of course ~ and once again the audience's reaction made me feel good, I think I knew at that stage I was going to be a star, It was just a question of time. Sonia Guitarist 24 years old Twas a student nurse at the time. My sister was a guitarist in an all-girl band called Femme and they were booked to play on a kid’s TV programme. The day before the recording my sister broke her arm and she asked me to go on instead of her. I was dead easy, really; knew how to play the guitar, and we were miming anyway, so no ‘one noticed if I was playing the right notes ‘or not. Then all the kids came up and asked me for my autograph, which was brilliant! I formed my own band soon afterwards, and we've just signed a deal with a record company. © Macmillan Publishers Ltd.
