Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 – June 10, 2004), known by his shortened stage name Ray Charles, was an American musician. He was a pioneer in the genre of soul music during the 1950s by fusing rhythm and blues, gospel, and blues styles into his early recordings with Atlantic Records. He also helped racially integrate country and pop music during the 1960s with his crossover success on ABC Records, most notably with his Modern Sounds albums. While with ABC, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to be given artistic control by a mainstream record company.Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business.”

The influences upon his music were mainly jazz, blues, rhythm and blues and country artists of the day such as Art Tatum, Nat King Cole, Louis Jordan, Charles Brown, Louis Armstrong. His playing reflected influences from country blues and barrelhouse, and stride piano styles.

Rolling Stone ranked Charles number ten on their list of "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" in 2004, and number two on their November 2008 list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time". In honoring Charles, Billy Joel noted: "This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley. I don't know if Ray was the architect of rock & roll, but he was certainly the first guy to do a lot of things . . . Who the hell ever put so many styles together and made it work?"

Peter Aerts also known as Peter Novak (Belgium/Leuven, 11 August 1973 - Belgium/Brussels 19 February 2008), is one of Belgium's leading DJ's.

Peter was strongly influenced by the musical background of his father and started to work on an impressive record collection at the age of 15.

After his first try-out behind the decks in Leuven (BE) he was immediately rewarded with a residency. Silo, one of the better underground clubs in Belgium for over 10 years, became his outlet for many years to come. He also worked at Cirao and club Extreme.

Following his festival performance at the first edition of House Torhout (Belgium's first outdoor dance festival), Peter was offered the closing slot at the Main Stage of the 2002 Cityparade in Liège (BE). Peter played one of those memorable "few in a lifetime"-sets. S few weeks later, he represented Belgium at the Nature One Festival in Germany.

Novak Kilibarda (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Новак Килибарда) is a politician, writer and activist from Montenegro. He is the currently president of the inactive People's Concord of Montenegro.

Kilibarda joined politics early on, the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (Montenegrin branch), very early climbing into its leading ranks, including the position of a parliamentary MP of the Socialist Republic of Montenegro. After publishing a literary work which mentioned a song to glory of Krsto Zrnov Popović, a national enemy, he was expelled from all Party and Republic positions and lost Party membership in 1971. He was also replaced in the position of Director of the Pedagogy Academy. Veljko Milatović was against firing him from the position of professor altogether, so that did not happen. This has led to Kilibarda acquiring a strong anti-Communist position and sliding into Serb nationalism.

In the late 1980s the Serb nationalist movements were strengthening in SR Montenegro. In 1990 with arrival of multiparliamentarism Montenegrin intellectuals gathered around Novak Kilibarda and formed the People's Party of Montenegro, claiming heritage from the old People's Party from the beginnings of the 20th century in the Montenegrin realm. Kilibarda advocated the Serbian nationalist movement often demanding abolition of borders within Yugoslavia and direct union of Montenegro into Serbia. Supporting a Greater Serbia during the Yugoslav wars, Kilibarda often visited Yugoslav and Serb divisions fighting in Croatia and Bosnia from 1991 to 1995 in support.
