"I started singing when I was two and still in my crib," Desiree' explains. "When I was three my dad got me a half-size guitar and showed me some chords and scales."

She hasn't looked back. She started playing competitions when she was eight and played her first bar gig when she was 12 (don't worry; she was with her dad, Dan, who's also her manager). And now? She and her dad are liable to show up at any hard rock show with a guitar and a smile. The result? How about jamming with Living Colour, the Marshall Tucker Band, Joe Satriani, and Sammy Hagar?

"Most people are approachable, and most are willing to give her a little stage time. She's just a cute little girl and she's all smiles. But as soon as she plugs in, it's game over."
