While his 14-year-old classmates were busy worrying about their Spanish finals or who they were taking to the spring formal, Ryan Star was forming his first band, Stage. Soon after he and his friends were signed to Madonna's Maverick Records and began playing legendary New York City clubs like CBGB's and the Mercury Lounge -- all before Star could even (legally) buy a pack of cigarettes.
