Ill go first...

All kidding aside... I am quite musically talented... I started when I was little. My parents brought over an old piano from Russia, and since the day I was born I was fascinated with it. So I started to make noise on it. Eventually I started playing, no scripts, no nothing, every single song that I learned to play on a piano, I learned by ear, from Mary had a little lamb to the Charlie Brown theme song to Beethovens 5th Symphony. Than my sister took the piano when she moved and I stopped playing.

In elementary school I was supposed to join the Glee Club, but my teacher prevented me from joining, I forget why, either grades or attitude (That Glee Club went on to sing for President Clinton in 1993). In junior high school (6th-7th grade) I joined the chorus and sang, the teacher loved me, and than puberty hit. In high school I was gonna join the band, but I didnt want to make a commitment to something that big. I just took piano courses to actually learn something. Come present day, my obsession for music takes over, and I begin DJing and aspire to produce as well

Other stuff I learned (keep in mind Im russian) I learned the lyrics to Ti Amo and L'Italiano (thanks to the superb dance remakes :haha along with other italian songs. My initial intention to learning Ti Amo was in hopes of one day to sing it to someone, that hasnt happened yet. Although my voice has changed through the years, I still sing in the shower and in my room. My friends consider me a musical mastermind because I can probably ID any present day song. Not only that I know atleast 1 line of lyrics to just about any present day song. I have an extensive musical memory bank.

Theres my little novel. How did it start for everyone else?

It all started for me when I was in the womb. Daddy put some headphones on Mom's stomach and played Eric Clapton for me.

As far as creating music is concerned, the whole story is in my bio on my website, http://www.rachelrossos.com.

Listening... well, my tastes are all over the place and always have been. Mom and Dad raised me on classic rock, but I also listened to the likes of Madonna, Wilson Phillips, and The Party (that group from the Micky Mouse Club... do any of you remember them??) when I was growing up. One of my mixed tapes from when I was about, hm, 6 or 7 years old, starts with Peter Frampton's "Show Me The Way", followed by "Little Bunny Foo Foo", then The Party's "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." Heehee. And then my voice! I wanted to be a radio DJ back then.

In 1994 or 1995 I started listening to the radio and CDs, fell in love with Ace of Base, Real McCoy, and La Bouche... a couple years later I discovered Scooter and fell in love with them too. I was such a eurodance girl. High school it's all I listened to, except when I was discovering Tori Amos, Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, the Indigo Girls, and Ani DiFranco. And actually, I listened to a lot of showtunes then too. Trance started to take over my music collection when eurodance strayed too much towards pop in the late 90's... and now I'm addicted.

That's the short version.

Well, I started getting into music when 3 or so. My dad used to play Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and from the very beginning I liked the sound of guitars and then got more into them when I found out what they were Then when I was around 5 I used to take broomsticks and "play guitar" with them, to Classic Rock (my biggest wish was to own a guitar). Later, when I was 14 I got a guitar and since then I can't stop playing it every day. EDM, I heard the first time like around 1992, with DJ Bobo, hehe I used to love that guy After learning how to play guitar I tought myself how to play bass, and different styles of music, such as Classical, Flamenco, Prog. Rock. Now, I'm addicted to trance, and NEED turntables
That's a short version of the story

i guess it started for me when i was about 5 when i started dancing. i was trained in classical ballet checchetti method. i moved on to jazz, tap, modern, lyrical, and of course company dancing....when your little that is a big deal.....music plays such a big part for any form of dance.....in modern we would practice pieces just using our breathe (you listen to everyone else's to keep in time) and you would hear the music in your head...pretty crazy,,huh anyway, i also played insturments starting in 3rd grade...i played the clarinet and was very good at it so when i was in high school band i switched to brass because they figured i would pick it up pretty quick...i learned how to play the melaphone, french horn, and trumpet...i guess you can say that i am musically inclined...but i can't sing if my life depended on it
i didn't really listen to any particulare music when i was young except madonna....she still owns me! when i was in high school i listened to a lot of the cure, depeche mode, radiohead-who still owns me now-and of course madonna.
my senior year i discovered "the club life"...i went to my first party and it was over......i graduated from high school in 96' and the
summer was spent going from party to party actually with BigBlue..i have taken breaks from "going out" but the music never died. I have been listening to electronic music ever since...and it just keeps getting better and better.....especially trance!
that is a shortened version....
