                            3rd Voice: How it all began                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          It all began with Jake Sampson (the man to the far right) was walking home from high school where he saw a friend from San Fernando High School named Cody Mender (man in the middle) playing his electric guitar for money. Jake thought "He's good at the guitar and i'm a great vocalist.""We should start a band."So they started practicing as a garage band in San Fernando, Calafornia. They thought there was something missing though."We need a beat, or a drummer. So they held the auditions for a new band member on February 24, 2006 where everyone failed. There was one last minute performance which had exactly what the band needed. The one who did this was Zackary Arlington (the man to the far left). Well the band said Zack should dye his hair a light brownish color for a more rockstar appeal. He dyed his hair that color and Jake had planned a party so the band can make a big debut. So Jake wrote song lyrics while, Cody and Zack practiced playing the keys. They finished the song and called it "Summertime Blues: the rock version." When they performed "Summertime Blues" at the party everyone just wanted another song. The rest of the act was Jackson Serrain singing his full album. After the party they returned to school where everyone was asking for an autograph or instument lessons. They had a party to tribute their inspiration and their favorite rocker Johnny Triangle. They also did a tribute to Ritchie Valens a spanish rocker. So a friend from San Fernando high got a tape of this band performing he gave it to Johnny Triangle's manager Jimmy Starr and he was very impressed. He told them to come in for an audition. After the audition Jimmy told them that they were just what he was looking for and he signed them to Starr Records.  He then said first that they need a name. Zack came up with 3rd Voice. Jimmy agreed and he gave them a proffesional songwriter to work with. They wrote another song called " Starting Point. "Jimmy got them a gig at singing halftime of a Knicks game. Jimmy made plans for a world tour. He called it the 3 teen band tour(3TBT). They went to Tokyo, France, Mexico, Brazil, Sydney, and finished it off in Madison Square Garden.  They became famous all over the world. When they got back they heard Jimmy Starr was going into retirement and they needed to find a new manager. Their songwriter stayed with them, so that after Jimmy retires they can still write great songs. When they looked for different lables each band member had a different lable they wanted to join. They broke up and went different lable. 2 years later they made a huge comeback in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, which was Zack's hometown. They sung their first single "Summertime Blues:the rock version" and finished up their career in Madison Square Garden.                                                                                                                                                          Did you know?                                                                                       Jake seemed to be the leader of the group, but the real leader was Zackary Arlington.
