Bred from musical blood, her grandfather was a music teacher and a member of the San Diego Symphony, she came from a family where instead of simply singing happy birthday to each other the entire family would break out their various instruments and play the tune instead. Hughes grew up playing piano, clarinet, and guitar both solo and in her high school and college orchestral bands. Her passion for music extended beyond performance so she decided to learn the business side by obtaining a degree in Entertainment Business from Cal State Northridge.
