Michael Peter Aranda was born on February 27, 1986 to Frank Aranda and Cheryl Melendrez. Michael has always been fascinated with computers and learned to read and write at the age of 4 with the help of video games. Michael met his friend Stefan Chin at the end of second grade and the two have remained friends ever since.
Michael has two younger sisters and one younger brother. Sara Ann Aranda, two years his junior, is a rock climber who has been featured in Subaru commercials. Rene Michelle Aranda, five years his junior, is a national award winning actress and film & television producer/casting director who was featured in the internet-celebrity studded Expelled with fellow Chino Hills native, Cameron Dallas. Frank Nathan Aranda, seven years his junior is a guitarist in the metal band The Unsung.
When Michael was a sophomore in high school, his mother and father split up, around the same time his mother found out she had breast cancer. She died after her seven-year battle with this disease in June 2009. Michael developed a love for four things during his attendance in junior high and Ayala High School (Class of 2004): "music, running, making movies, and girls."
Aranda has been interested in music for the majority of his life. He began playing the trumpet in 6th grade, and was in marching band in both junior high and high school, where he eventually became the drum major. During that time he learned how to play the French horn, mellophone, baritone, flute, clarinet, saxophone, guitar, piano, marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, drum set, and turn table. Towards the end of high school, Michael participated in the drum line and color guard.
