Alan and Gail opened the first Rockstars Of Tomorrow franchise in March, 2016. Their daughter, Sydney, started taking vocal lessons from Carla Boe at the original Norco studio in 2014. Shortly thereafter, Alan knew he wanted to become the first Rockstars franchisee. Alan and Gail’s combined talents have proven to be a perfect fit.

As a high school educator and lifelong musician, Alan has the skills and passion for motivating and leading the Rancho Cucamonga team. His experience teaching at-risk youth gives him the ability to reach students on their level. Alan is also a multi-instrumentalist. He plays drums, piano, trombone, harmonica, and sings leads and harmonies. His early experience in construction has proven to be extremely valuable in constructing the studio decor.

Gail’s career in graphic design, advertising, and marketing is the ideal accompaniment to Alan’s educational and musical background. She is responsible for the eclectic interior design of the studio and also manages the social media accounts for Rockstars Rancho. In 2018, she joined the Rockstars Of Tomorrow corporate team as Director of Marketing. She now uses her creative talents to help the entire Rockstars Of Tomorrow network. In addition, she is also a guitar student at the studio with the dream of keeping up with her musical family.

Alan and Gail have two daughters, Sydney and Charlotte. Sydney teaches at the Rancho Cucamonga studio. Charlotte is a drummer and vocalist like her dad. She plays drums for one of Rancho’s Rockstar Pro bands, Unscripted. She also is active in musical theater. Needless to say, Rockstars Rancho Cucamonga is family owned and family loved.

Lyndon Hamilton began his musical journey when he was 13 years old by learning guitar as a student at Rockstars Of Tomorrow Norco. He then picked up a variety of other instruments. By the age of 14, he had already started playing with his own band. As he grew as a musician, he began playing at venues such as the House of Blues and Garden Grove Amphitheater.

Sydney Benson has been playing music for the majority of her life. Starting with piano at age 8, she found herself bored with the old piano books she was learning out of. At age 10, she began taking vocal lessons at The Fender Center before becoming Carla Bosnake’s first vocal student at Rockstars Of Tomorrow at age 12.

Once at Rockstars, Sydney started to play the piano again and naturally picked up the bass, guitar, and ukulele. She has also been an active choir member since middle school. She was a member of the Madrigals honor choir at Encore High School for the Arts, one of the top 10 high school choirs in the state. She is currently studying Audio Engineering at Norco College.

Sydney played her first Rockstars of Tomorrow show in 2012, and since then has played at a variety of different venues such as Chain Reaction, House of Blues, the patio at Toyota Arena, and Disneyland.

She currently plays bass and sings backup vocals with her band, IX Effect, which includes her fellow instructors Lyndon Hamilton, Matt Lusk and Dylan Clark.

Mark DeGonia is an accomplished guitarist, performer, and composer across a variety of musical styles including hard rock, pop, blues, and classical. At age 13, he enrolled at Rockstars of Tomorrow Norco as one of CEO Michael Anderson’s personal students.

In 2017, Mark exited Rockstars Norco to take a teaching position at Rockstars Rancho and to pursue his undergraduate in Music Composition at Cal Poly Pomona.

In addition to his love of shred guitar, he has also picked up fluency in a variety of other disciplines including keyboards, vocals, drums, and music recording. His experiences at Rockstars of Tomorrow taught him about the importance of arranging for different instruments and musical styles, about clear and supportive communication, and about the importance of breaking out of your comfort zone to realize your goals. He currently plays guitar in IX Effect which includes fellow instructors Lyndon Hamilton, Sydney, Matt Lusk and Dylan Clark.

Since the age of 5, Carla began singing and dancing at several professional dance studios. Along with vigorous training, as well as regular performance experience, she discovered how to truly connect with an audience directly through the pure forms of song and dance. She then went on to study music history and later attended Florida State University where she regularly performed with the FSU dance troupe both on and off campus.

For the past 13 years, Carla has been singing professionally in top notch musical acts such as Los Angeles’ leading powerhouse all-girl AC/DC tribute band, Girls Got Rhythm, and has performed with several prominent musical acts over the years including Guns & Roses’ Slash, and Stevie Ray Vaughn’s Double Trouble in places like House of Blues, The Roxy, The Troubadour and many others. Carla is currently the lead vocalist, emcee, and co-owner of her very own successful production company and corporate event band Undercover Live.
