You Sang It First

In a one-car garage in Las Vegas, four teenagers with too much eyeliner and not enough life experience decide they're going to be famous.

They don't have money, connections, or even a permanent band name - just buzzing amps, stapled-up Christmas lights, and ambition that feels bigger than Nevada. What they do have is Ryan's notebook, filled with sharp, aching lyrics he swears aren't about anyone. He writes about escape like it's inevitable. About longing like it's safe on paper.

Then there's Brendon - with a voice too big for a suburban garage and a habit of turning Ryan's guarded words into confessions. As rehearsals stretch into late nights, creative tension starts to blur into something softer, something harder to ignore.

Because chasing fame at sixteen is easy to romanticize.

Falling for your lead singer is not.

Ryan always knew music would change his life. He just didn't expect it to change his heart first.
