Vinyl Scratch has worked her way to a pretty sweet life. She’s married to the mare of her dreams, Octavia Philharmonica, has two wonderful fillies, Spark and Ballad, and the coolest job in the world: being a DJ. One day, Spark asked her how everything came to be from the very beginning, and both Octavia and Ballad seemed interested in learning the truth behind Vinyl’s origins. And so that afternoon, Vinyl spun the tale of how she went from a humble beginning as music shop owner’s daughter to her eventual status as the famous (and infamous) DJ PON3.

EDIT: Added the 'Alternate Universe' tag because some of the Mane 6 are out of the semi-set timeline. I'm gonna go ahead and call this my OctaVinyl Timeline.
