That doesn't really fix the fact that they've been friends for 16 years and all love music but have never played together.

If they're going to have been friends this entire time, they'll need to have been a band this entire time. Here's my idea:

They started RockStop when they were 10 and they would just practice in one of their basements or whatever, but they never perform in public. Ryan has always dreamt of being famous but thinks it's unlikely. One day he records them singing and puts the CD in his backpack, but it falls out and Sierra sees it. She tries to give it back to him but he doesn't hear her, so she takes it home with her and listens to it and loves it. She suggests that they enter the talent show and they agree. Then they perform, Ryan trips and gets upset, Sierra wins with her magic show, etc. And at the end of the episode Sierra gives Ryan her number and tells him to call her if they want to continue their career. In the second episode Ryan does call her and she becomes their manager.
