DALTON RAPATTONI
What’s up, y’all? My name’s Dalton Lewis
Rapattoni. So, a little bit about me!
I was born in Memphis, TN, but I moved to
Dallas, TX with my family when I was 2. I call
Sunnyvale, TX home. I have always loved music.
My Grandma signed me up for my first guitar
lesson when I was 11, but I got really bored just
learning to play for myself, so I asked my
parents to sign me up for a local rock school. I’ll
never forget the feeling that I got when I was on
stage for the first time. I knew it was for me. I
played tons of gigs, from small clubs to sporting
events in huge arenas, and I loved every minute
of performing with the School of Rock in
Frisco, TX.
At home, I used to be in a band with several
friends, called Fly Away Hero. I played bass
guitar and sang lead vocals. We actually had
a pretty good following and in 2010, we were
even voted into the semi-finals of the
NAAM/School Jam Best Teen Band in
America competition. When I got a call to
come out to LA I had just been accepted to
the prestigious Booker T Washington High
School for the Visual and Performing Arts. It
was an amazing school and if you have ever
seen the movie Fame, that’s sort of what it
felt like. I didn’t stay there long because I
headed out to LA for the IM5 audition and it
has been a crazy experience ever since! My
Dad moved out to LA with me and my Mom
stayed behind, with my sisters and my
boxer, Max.

DALTON RAPATTONI
It’s hard living apart from the rest of my
family but I really appreciate the sacrifice
they are all making for me. I think I have the
best job in the world and can’t believe that I
get to wake up every day and play music
with so many talented people. We rehearse
and spend a lot of time at the studio, but it
doesn’t feel like work because we have so
much fun together. To be honest, I never
really saw myself dancing or doing pop
music and those who know me well can
attest to that! But I am really glad that I was
given the chance to do this because it
opened my mind to a whole different type
of music. We are all really different and I
think that’s a good thing. I think each of us
try to put a little bit of our own style into
each song we do.
When I’m not working, I like
to hang out and play video
games or just sit and listen to
music. I could sit in a dark
room and listen to music for
days and not think about
anything else. My favorite
food is from Chipotle and I
swear to you I could eat that
for every single meal. If I had
to pick a favorite color, I
guess it would be clear. My
short-term goal is for IM5 to
be on every girl’s pillowcase.
My long-term goal is world
domination. ; )
I love my family, I love my
friends, and I just love life!

COLE PENDERY
Hey guys! What’s up? I’m Cole Alan Pendery.
I was born in the Great Ole’ State of Texas. I
grew up and attended school in the small
town of Midlothian, just south of Dallas.
There isn’t much to do in a small town, so my
parents signed me up to play soccer. I
started playing at the ripe old age of 4. I
loved the sportsmanship and the
camaraderie of a team. It was then that I
learned the true meaning of “teamwork.” If I
wasn’t doing homework, you could find me
on the soccer field.
It wasn’t until 6th grade that I discovered my
love for performing, on the stage with my
school choir. I have always loved to be in the
spotlight and make people laugh. At the end
of 8th grade, I sat down with my parents and
told them that this is what I wanted to do for
the rest of my life. At first, they just thought
it was a silly dream but after much
persistence on my part they finally took it
seriously. I was determined to do this. In the
summer of 2010, my mom and I set out for
Los Angeles and I began working!
I am so blessed to have such amazing
parents who believe in me and my dream.
They support me 100%, no matter what I do.
It gets tough sometimes because my father
works tirelessly on his dream back in Dallas
so we are not able to be together much of the
time, but the time I do get to spend with him, I
cherish every bit. He is my role model and I
hope to grow up and be as great of a man as
he is.
About a month after the move, I was told
about an audition for the band that was being
put together by 3 very influential men in the
entertainment industry: Simon Fuller, Jamie
King and Perez Hilton. The audition was for
the band now known as IM5, and I am
honored to say that I am a member of this
team. But those words “band” or “team” or
whatever else you can call us doesn’t really
describe what we truly are. We are a family, 5
brothers living our dreams together. I feel so
blessed to have these guys in my life. I can
always count on them for anything.

I am so looking forward to what the future holds because whatever it is, it will
be an amazing ride. I hope to soon see “IM5″ become world-renowned and I
hope we can be positive role models for kid – to know that they can follow
their dreams as we all have!
When I’m not in rehearsal with the band and I have some free time, I love to
just spend time with my friends or go do fun stuff with the guys. I like to have
a good time in everything I do, and even though I have this amazing job, I am
still a normal kid just like everybody else. And just like everybody else, I am
always glued to my phone and texting my friends or playing Xbox. And I
do, on occasion, get in trouble by my mom for it. Ha ha! I like to live by the
motto of “live everyday like it is your last” and “no regrets.” IM all about
having fun and always have a smile on my face.
I want to thank everyone for all the amazing support that you have given me
throughout my life: family, friends, teachers, mentors and my current
bosses, I don’t know where I would be without you. I love you all very much!
Thank you.

14. IM5: THE RISING STARS 14
I was born in Los
Angeles, California on June
18, 1996. Music has always
been a huge part of my life.
I started playing the piano
when I was 4. I also made
the transition from
screaming toddler to actual
singer at one point. My
parents are probably
grateful for that. Then came
the countless community
theater productions. I was
rehearsing for some show
practically every weekend.
After I learned what the
word “cool” meant, I
started to branch out into
more genres of music. I
love a variety of music, but
my heart is in R&B and
Gospel. Stevie Wonder, Al
Green, Aretha Franklin and
Otis Redding are just a few
of my favorites.
Throw in some
singer/songwriters like John
Mayer and Jason Mraz, some
alternative rock like The Script,
some retro soul like Adele and
Dionne Bromfield, some old
school hip hop like A Tribe
Called Quest, De La Soul and
Run-DMC and you have my
iTunes library.
Wanting to perform anywhere
with a microphone led me to
acting jobs in film and
television. I’ve also won singing
competitions and piano
scholarships in Southern
California. More recently, I’ve
started playing the guitar and
writing and producing my own
songs.
I never really pictured myself in
a group until now. I can
honestly say that being in IM5 is
the best thing that has ever
happened to me.
It’s great to be on a team
where everyone respects and
supports each other. We all
bring different personalities
and different styles to create a
unique sound that I think
separates us from the other
groups out there.
We’re a brotherhood as much
as we are a band, and I think
that will play into our success
as a group.
When it comes down to it, and
you strip away all the
lights, the dancing, the clothes
and the harmonies, IM5 is just
five guys who want to share
our common love of music with
all of you. Hopefully we will get
to do that for a long time.

Hey everyone! My name is Dana Vaughns, II. I’m 15 years old
and originally from a small town near Pittsburgh, PA (BLACK
AND GOLD ALL DAY)!
Just a little bit about me… I love having fun! I truly enjoy
singing, dancing, and acting. When I’m not doing those
things, I love hanging with my friends, family, and playing
basketball, golf, and video games. However, I know when it’s
time to “work” and get down to “business”.
I started this whole entertainment thing when I was 10 years
old, but I had an interest in performing and showing people
my talent at the age of 7. From there I took dance and
singing lessons and I remember always wanting to just draw
everyone’s attention to me!!
So, as life went on, I got more serious about my craft. My
wonderful parents realized my passion early on and I’m so
thankful that my family had the means to move me out to
L.A. It’s unfortunate that my father has to stay back in South
Carolina (where I previously lived before I moved to LA), but
I appreciate both of my parents. My mom is always there for
moral support when no one else is there for me. Also, my
mom is willing to take me where I need to go so I can exceed
in my craft. Without my parents, I surely wouldn’t be in this
amazing situation!
As you know, I’m in a band called “IM5″ and I’m absolutely
crazy about being in this band!! I mean, wouldn’t you enjoy
hangin’ with 4 other dudes that feel like they’re your
brothers and be able to tell them anything? I know I’m glad
that I have four people in my life like that!
So, looking into the future of “IM5″, I just wish us much
success. I hope that when it’s all said and done, I can say I
had an effect on the world!
I also want to stay close with my bandmates for many years
to come!! Eventually, I want my kids to look up to me not only
for being a successful artist, but as a person that keeps
strong bonds with people who I truly love!!
Just so you get to know me a little better….. I’m a Capricorn
and I’m also an only child!! My favorite color is red and I love
shoes!!
Like I said, I enjoy hanging with friends! If we went out to
eat, I would probably grab a Philly Cheese steak!!! Then to
top it off, I’d have a little sherbet for dessert!
So, I think you have a pretty good understanding of who I am
now… as a person and a performer!! Thanks for reading!
