Ritchie Valens was born in Pacoima on May 13, 1941. He was encouraged by his father to take up guitar and trumpet, and later taught himself the drums. By the time he was attending Pacoima Junior High School, his proficiency on the guitar was such that he brought the instrument to school and would sing and play songs to his friends on the bleachers.
