Early Life
Altman grew up in the Bronx, New York, in Riverdale. His musical talent was recognized early on, as he starred in many school musicals and claims to have charmed female classmates with "hallway serenades." At age seventeen, Altman turned pro, performing on the NYC nightclub circuit with David Yazbek as Moon Pudding, a Simon and Garfunkel-styled teen duo. At Brown University, Altman majored in political science, but focused primarily on singing college a cappella in The High Jinks and fronting Blind Dates, his rock group that released two national college radio hits. Altman continued with Blind Dates after graduating from Brown in 1984, moving from Providence to NYC in search of a record deal. The group dissolved in 1987, just as Rockapella's career began.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
