Grammy time is always exciting! And with the 2013 Grammys winners announced – Snakkle unveils some amazing before they were stars photos of the winners as well as the nominees who did not get a statue this year.

MTV brings the summer of 2012 to a close with the live 29th annual MTV Video Music Awards on September 6 at 8/7c pm. As usual, the nominee list is a who’s who of the music industry elite with Rihanna and Drake at the front of the pack each with five “Moonman” nods.  Always a wild TV party, the VMA ceremony also actually celebrates music (which was the cornerstone of the cable channel back in the day), so expect performances by Rhianna, One Direction, Pink, Green Day and a whole lot more.

With the stars ready to belt out their songs and tear up the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Snakkle was curious about how well you know this year’s crop of nominees? We’ve assembled a visual photo feast featuring some of the biggest noms before they became global music sensations. Can you name them correctly?

At some point or another, every guy thinks, “I bet I’d look awesome if I just grew out this thing…” and of course, cute as they may be, they’re not always right.

Check out these stars whose follicular follies occurred long before their fame—and some whose ‘staches were smashes.

We’re going way, way back before they were stars for this one! Beautiful babies grow up to be beautiful celebrities, so see if you can guess which celebs match up with these cute baby pics.

Hip-hop hit maker, style icon, awards-show crasher, controversial media figure … yep, that’s Kanye. Love or hate him (or his music), there’s no getting around just how influential he has been on popular culture. Let’s look back at his journey thus far and try to get to the bottom of just what makes Kanye tick.

You never know what’s going to happen when musicians get together in the recording studio. Sometimes the most unlikely collaborators end up making sweet music together, while surefire pairings end up falling flat. Snakkle takes a look at some of the most interesting, entertaining, and just plain unfortunate musical mashups in recent pop history.

Grammy nominations are announced Wednesday, November 30! Who will be nominated? Who will perform? What will Beyoncé and her baby bump wear? All good questions, but at Snakkle we’d rather ask, “What did these music superstars look like before they were famous?” You’re about to find out.
