The members of Clear Vision all grew up in Fontana, California, a suburb in San Diego. Fontana was a poor neighborhood, so the members had very little to perform with. Blaine's parents, however, had won the lottery for $350,000. Being an only child, his parents placed a great percentage of the profit into his trust fund. He took the money to start producing Clear Vision's demos, instruments, and to have his name as a producer for the band's debut record It's Only Time. He was an only child, and his father was an accountant, and his mother was a telemarketer. � � �
