Born in San Diego on April 26, Earles lived in Ohio and Washington before his family settled in Portland, Oregon.  The middle of four brothers and a sister, Earles gravitated towards acting as a way to stand out from his siblings.  He started in the third grade production of "Hansel & Gretel," and from there, starred in various school, community and summer theatre productions.  After high school, Earles toured with the Montana Shakespeare in the Park theatre group before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.

On television, he had a recurring role on Disney Channel's "Phil of the Future" and guest starred on "The Shield," "One on One," "Still Standing" and "Mad TV."  He also starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie, "Dadnapped" with his "Hannah Montana" co-star Emily Osment.  Earles also appeared in the feature films "National Treasure," "American Pie:  Band Camp" and "Special Ed" as well as numerous stage productions, including "Twelfth Night," "The Tempest," "Pinocchio," "Tom Sawyer" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."  He was recently seen in Walt Disney Pictures' "Hannah Montana: The Movie" feature film starring Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus and the "Hannah Montana" cast.

Earles enjoys watching sports, especially baseball and the Seattle Mariners, and is an avid video game player.  He resides in Los Angeles with his two cats, Presley and Timmy.

Aug 22 2010 Allstar Weekend

See and hear your favorite music from Allstar Weekend –

on the beach at North Division St., just steps from our famous boardwalk. It's fun for the whole family, and it's FREE!

3:00–7:00 p.m.

On the beach at North Division Street

Zach- Vocals, Guitar
Nathan - Guitar, Vocals
Cameron - Bass
Michael - Drums
 
Even though Zach, Nathan, Cameron and Michael are still in their teens, they carry themselves like stars. So why not call themselves Allstar Weekend? The Hollywood Records quartet may be young, but they have the talent, nerve and off-the-chart charm needed to go all the way. And don’t worry. They will.
 
Beyond their exceptional musicianship and stage presence, these guys write great pop songs: melodic, smart and edgy. Zach and Nathan do most of the writing (though Cameron and Michael weigh in). Moreover, they wield a mature craftsmanship beyond their years. It’s unmistakable in songs like the synth-hook-laden "Dance Forever" and the introspective "Journey to the End of My Life," available as a download on iTunes.

"I’m a kid," says lyricist Zach, "so I feel issues a kid my age would listen to. I try not to write every song about a girl." Adds Nathan, "When we first came to this band, we just felt we had to write all the time. That’s all we did. We just developed this cool writing process, and people started liking it."

Currently Allstar Weekend is in the studio working the likes of Howard Benson, Eddie Galan, Charlotte Caffey, John Feldman and Dave Bassett. But long before that, San Diego band’s homegrown demos were good enough to wow siblings Richard and Stefanie Reines, founders of Drive-Thru Records, and now managers of the band. "We don't freak out about bands too often, and we never insist every band we work with is destined for Top 40 success," says Stefanie. "Allstar Weekend is one of those rare instances where we just know they’re going to be huge."

The son of a working musician, Nathan credits his dad for teaching him the finer points of music appreciation. Zach was raised on a steady diet of Bruce Springsteen and Elton John, artists he credits for inspiring his artful approach to songwriting. Cameron fell in love with his parents’ 80's pop classics, from Prince and Michael Jackson to Duran Duran, later graduating to Jimi Hendrix and B.B. King.
 
Zach and Cameron had been friends since middle school, but the makings of Allstar Weekend didn’t begin until Nathan met Zach later in high school. Though a year apart, they saw in each other kindred musical spirits, and began a string of garage bands. "Then Zach and I decided to take our abilities somewhere else," remembers Nathan. "We wrote songs and recorded in our bedroom, then put the music up on Myspace."
