With the gift of a guitar from his mother when he was 12, Depp began playing in various garage bands.[11] A year after his parents' divorce, Depp dropped out of high school to become a rock musician.[11] He attempted to go back to school two weeks later, but the principal told him to follow his dream of being a musician.[11] He played with The Kids, a band that enjoyed modest local success. The Kids set out together for Los Angeles in pursuit of a record deal, changing their name to Six Gun Method, but the group split up before signing a record deal. Depp subsequently collaborated with the band Rock City Angels[15] and co-wrote their song "Mary", which appeared on Rock City Angels' debut forGeffen Records titled Young Man's Blues.[16]
