Bell began taking violin lessons at the age of four after his mother discovered her son had taken rubber bands from around the house and stretched them across the handles of his dresser drawer to pluck out music he had heard her play on the piano.

A bright student, Bell took to the instrument but lived an otherwise normal midwest Indiana life playing video games and excelling at sports, namely tennis and bowling, even placing in a national tennis tournament at the age of ten.

After going to concerts in his teenage years, he made a decision to be on a stage in some way. He started playing guitar around the age of 15, but confessed to have been very lazy and only learned three chords and nothing more for about three years.

Singing on stage at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles was a moment David Archuleta will never forget, but there were a number of pivotal moments that happened in his (even) younger days, and he'll never forget any of them either, including singing for the first season "American Idol" contestants in Hollywood in 2002, when he was just 11 years old.

"Church" is a song by T-Pain. It is a fast-paced song led by guitar riffs and is one of the songs in which T-Pain raps. It appears on his album Epiphany and was released as the third single.

That Girl is the first single of Frankie J's album Priceless. It features Chamillionaire & Mannie Fresh. Also it is produced by Mannie Fresh. Slim Thug was on the original version, but Frankie J thought that having Chamillionaire would boost the song's commercial success because Chamillionaire was a more popular artist than Slim Thug at the time. Slim Thug's verses were omitted and Chamillionaire filled in the gaps. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 17th, 2006 at number 100. Since then, the song has climbed to its current peak position of number 43.

Staten Island vocalist Eamon appeared in late 2003, when his bold single "F**k It [I Don't Want You Back]" took urban radio by storm.

The Bahamian music and dance tradition of Junkanoo, which traces back to the slavery days when slaves were allowed to gather together one day a week for festivities, is fused with the modern influences of dance rhythms, pop music and Latin percussion by Isaiah Taylor and his band, The Baha Men. According to "Billboard", the group "straddles the line between Caribbean and western popular music and does so while putting smiles on people's faces and a bounce in their steps".

In terms of both record sales and career longevity, Barry Manilow is one of the most successful adult contemporary singers ever. That success hasn't necessarily translated to respect (or even ironic hipster appreciation) in most quarters; Manilow's music has been much maligned by critics and listeners alike, particularly the romantic ballads that made his career, which were derided as maudlin schlock even during his heyday.

The British pop trio BBMak consists of Mark Barry, Christian Burns and Stephen McNally. Unlike many of their teen-friendly peers, BBMak plays their own instruments and write and produce most of their music as well. Barry, Burns and McNally met while they were playing with other bands in Northwest England and, after jamming together for a time, decided to form a band. After recording a demo, BBMak camped outside the headquarters of major labels and performed on the street. A few gigs later, BBMak was the focus of a bidding war and the group soon secured a deal.

North London-based trio Busted first appeared in early 2002 with an audacious blend of BBMak and Boyzone called "What I Go to School For." The single's sugar high of saccharine pop-punk progressions, processed harmonies, and cheeky curse words ("I fought my way to the front of class/To get the best view of her ass") was a big hit with the kids, and saddled the Busted boys with immediate sensation status.

The attention focused on whether Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around..." is about his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears threatens to obscure the fact that this is one of the most gorgeous pop melodies of the year. The intimate strings and circular sounding production that match the elliptical nature of the lyrics cause the melody to linger long in the memory.

New Zealand-born Daniel Bedingfield grew up in southeast London. Mostly influenced by contemporary R&B artists, his sisters Natasha and Nicola teamed up with him to assemble their first band, called the DNA Algorhythm. Inspired by a girlfriend from Leeds, Daniel Bedingfield recorded "Gotta Get Thru This" in his bedroom with a microphone plugged to his home computer.

A 1997 signing with Jellybean Benitez's Hola label never panned out, but he landed on his feet when he became a member of los Kumbia Kings.

With two Top-40 singles- Spark and Closing In- playing on over 50 mainstream pop stations across the country, tours with Radio Disney, and three Los Angeles Music Award nominations, Gregory Scott’s career was on the fast track to pop stardom. He became a regular face in the teen magazines landing in Pop Star, J14, Twist, Teen Voice, and over 40 popular e-zines. The success of his debut album, The Waking Hour, was matched by critical acclaim and rave reviews, so it came as a shock to most when Gregory Scott turned from the pop scene and embarked on recording a Contemporary Christian album.

Sounding like a revamped Jackson 5 for the '90s, Hanson came storming out of Tulsa, OK, in 1997 blessed with photogenic looks and a surprisingly infectious sense of melody. Hanson had a sunny pop sense that stood in direct contrast to the gloomy grunge that dominated the '90s, yet they also arrived with hip credentials
