Her mother, Delia Aguilar-Borrego, was from Penonomé, Coclé, Panama. Her father, Richard Borrego, was an American serving there in the military. Earlier performance credits, and occasional recent credits, are under the surname of Borrego. As a teenager, she attended a magnet school music program. She also attended school in Panama, living with relatives without amenities such as hot running water, refrigeration, and air conditioning. In 2010, she attended and worked at the Musicians Institute located in Hollywood, California. Early years Aguilar began playing violin at the age of 12, and played first violin with the Dade County Honors Orchestra, and the Greater Miami Youth Symphony. She taught herself guitar and mandolin during high school. She has performed in Miami at open mic venues with her sister Kristen Borrego (bass guitarist), Erika Coromina, and others. Influences When she started playing guitar, Aguilar gravitated toward the classic rock her father listened to at home. A family video shows her headbanging to Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying" in her playpen. She went with her father to see The Guess Who for her first concert as a teenager. Her father showed the film The Song Remains the Same, and she was inspired by watching Jimmy Page to become a professional guitarist. Later role models include Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, "because of the way he bends his notes. I can feel them in my chest and they just really move me." Breakout success After moving in late 2007 to Los Angeles, California, Aguilar performed with several bands: Bad Apple, The Bitchfits (all girls tribute to the Misfits), The Ramonas (all girls tribute to the Ramones), and Pretty Little Problem. Her national television debut playing a Fender electric violin backed Diddy's Dirty Money on Hello Good Morning for the March 31, 2010, American Idol. Aguilar also played lead guitar with Suede (of Austin, Texas) on "You Shook Me All Night Long"
