Good for them, but...
"Ringing up their professional contacts... "
"To encourage his development, his parents built him a studio at their home in the Malibu hills..."
"...arranged for their son to continue his drumming lessons during their summers in Italy and while on location for movie shoots..."
?They hired a manager, hired another guy for recording, had band rooms, recording rooms. "
"The band, whose two other members... also have parents in the music industry, was signed to Geffen Records in 2004." (when the singer was about 17)
followed by:
"I like the D.I.Y. aspect of this."
is pretty classic.
