• Chris Seefried
  Chris Seefried (born October 20) is an American record producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, best known as the lead vocalist and frontman of bands Gods Child, Joe 90, Low Stars and producer co-writer for the neo soul band Fitz and the Tantrums.
  Seefried's U.S. career started when a cassette tape of "Everybody's 1" was heard by Prince, who stopped the song midway through, ejected the tape and declared "this is mine". That song and four other psychedelic rock & soul tracks found their way to legendary artist, producer, musician and then record company president Quincy Jones and his A & R man Hugo Burnham, drummer from premiere English punk band Gang Of Four. After flying to N.Y.C. to see Gods Child perform one of many shows at New Yorks CBGB's, they signed the band to Warner Brothers records via Quincy's imprint label Qwest. Their first record Everybody was written and produced by Seefried with band mate Gary DeRosa under the pseudonym Bullfrog and the Elephant. Single "Everybodys 1" charted in two Billboard charts simultaneously, peaking at #18 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #25 on the Modern Rock chart. While making video's for songs "Everybody's 1", "Stone Horses" and "Slide", Gods Child toured nationally headlining shows in NYC at Irving Plaza and Roseland Ballroom and also performed "Everybodys 1" on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Second record Aluminum, produced by Tim Palmer, was critically acclaimed but singles "Female Elvis" and "This Is the Real World?" only charted regionally. The song "Need" was featured in the Fox Network television series Melrose Place.

• Darcy Frey
  Darcy Frey is an American writer from New York. Best known for his 1994 book The Last Shot: City Streets, Basketball Dreams, Frey has published articles in The American Lawyer, Rolling Stone, Harper's, and The New York Times Magazine. He is a contributing editor at Harper's and The New York Times Magazine and the winner of a National Magazine Award and the Livingston Award. Both awards were for "The Last Shot," a 1993 article published in Harper's that Frey developed into his first book. The article was included in The Best American Essays 1994. Frey graduated from Oberlin College in 1983.
  In 2007 The Last Shot was selected by the Durham County Library in North Carolina as the title for Durham Reads Together (DRT) program, a community wide initiative to read and discuss relevant issues from the book.
  Frey refers to his writing as "creative non-fiction". Meticulous research and crisp prose^{[citation needed]} bolster the cornerstone of his work: his eye for intriguing, sometimes obscure, subjects^{[citation needed]}. For example, he observed Long Island air traffic controllers for five months to write "Something's Got to Give", a piece published in The New York Times Magazine. The article inspired the film Pushing Tin. Frey has also written about environmental topics, such as global warming. He profiled George Divoky, a research scientist in the Arctic, for The New York Times Magazine in 2002. The breadth of his subject matter is intentional; he enjoys freelancing. "The only way to be a writer is to be a self-employed writer," said Frey, who quit a permanent position at Harper's after only a year.
