Antonio Hart
Born:

Hart had a friend that attended the then new Baltimore School for the Performing Arts, and somehow got Antonio an audition. Most of the students that attended this school had been playing music all of their lives and had private instruction. This did not stop Antonio because he knew this would be the place for him. The night before the audition, Antonio spent hours on the phone with his friend learning a song from one of his music books
