.Trey Parker
Trey Parker was born and raised in Auburn, Alabama. His entertainment career started at seven when he landed the job to hype the crowd at football games as the University of Auburn's Mascot "Little Aubie".
Also a natural born actor, Trey exhausted the cities creative avenues from musical theater as the leads in "Winnie the Pooh", "Grease", "Scrooge", and "Music Man" to local television spots and commercials.
With idols like Michael Jackson and watching Soul Train, the fluid movements of rhythm easily became a part of his style. The style incorporated with his own pop influence was immediately recognized and appreciated by being accepted at the School of Performing Arts in New York. Next in line was an honorable full scholarship to the Broadway Dance Center.
Trey began landing national TV commercials such as McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Teddy Ruxpin, Roy Rogers, and Toro just to name a few. He was also chosen for Nordstrom's and Macy's ad campaigns. Off-Broadway plays include "Peter Pan" (lead) and "A House in the Woods". During his stay in New York he was chosen to appear on TV specials with Emmanuel Lewis and Debbie Allen.
After conquering one coast, he headed out west to Los Angeles, California at the age of fifteen. He was teen sensation Tiffany's lead dancer on the New Kids on the Block tour. He appeared in made for TV movies such as "Caddie Woodlawn", "Please God I'm only Seventeen", and "Straight at Ya" hosted by Kirk Cameron. He also landed several episodes on prime time televisions such as "Baywatch", "Doogie Hoswer MD", "Thirty Something", and "The Judge". This lead to landing a lead role on the NBC prime time series "Hull High". Disney then immediately signed him to a three picture deal beginning with a lead role in their musical drama "Newsies".
Trey still found the time to strive to form the very successful group E.Y.C (Express Yourself Clearly). MCA records quickly signed them to a global record deal breaking them out in Europe. E.Y.C. opened up for many renowned and respected patron of the music industry such as Prince, Whitney Houston, and The Backstreet Boys. This immediately opened doors for their own ventures, which forced E.Y.C to graciously turn down opening up for Michael Jackson to start their own international tour. Over the next three years they gained an incredible international fan base while traveling all around the world. E.Y.C. had over seven Top 20 Hits in Great Britain. Their success landed them an Australian Grammy Award for Best New International Act and won a Smash Hits Award in the United Kingdom. The group went Platinum in Southeast Asia after holding the #1 and #2 spots for weeks. E.Y.C's high energy performances, constant crowd participation, and a strong loyalty to their fans helped them to achieve top status all over the world. Due to the take over of MCA records in America, E.Y.C came home for a much needed break. The group came back together for one last time for The Backstreet Boys Millennium Tour, the group went their separate ways shortly after.

Tom Gire has loved music since he found his way onto the piano bench and learned his favorite song by ear at the age of 4. Growing up in the Seattle area, Tom studied and played the piano in settings as diverse as concert halls, jazz clubs, and musical theaters, all the while dreaming of being a jazz recording artist. In 1986, he moved to Los Angeles to attend Pepperdine University on a music scholarship, but he soon realized that his passion was to play, arrange, and create music rather than study it. He did the next logical thing and got a job as a musical director for Princess Cruises. Tom spent 5 years traveling the globe, playing and writing music, and tasting the wonders that the world had to offer .
He returned to LA with a head full of experiences and a beautiful musician wife that he met while working on "The Love Boat". After a few years of playing clubs and weddings while honing his production techniques creating karaoke and remix tracks, he was introduced to John Sponsler by a mutual friend. Their first meeting would change Tom's life and lead to the birth of Magic Box Music and later Brand X Music. John allowed Tom an opportunity to learn, work, and grow, and in so doing, the two forged a friendship and partnership that has spanned nearly 30 years.
Their career has seen them create music for major films including: Pirates of the Caribbean 2, 3 and 4, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Transformers: 2 and 3, Despicable Me, and Rango. They assisted John Debney on scores ranging from Inspector Gadget to the Spy Kids 1 and 2, and Tom was a featured pianist on scores for Michael Jordan to the Max and The Emperor's New Groove. Tom had the pleasure of assisting his life long hero John Williams as a midi producer and synth programmer on his award winning scores for Memoirs of a Geisha and Munich, as well as Mr. Williams' themes for NBC Sunday Night Football. Magic Box Music has also had original music featured in ads for Boeing, Scion, Wendy's, and The US Navy.
John and Tom formed the Brand X Music catalog as an outgrowth of their work scoring movie trailers.

Ace cinematographer David Myers was well regarded in the movie industry for his sterling contributions to various rock-'n-roll music documentaries he photographed throughout his 50-year career. Myers was born on May 8, 1914, in Auburn, New York. He was inspired to become a still photographer after seeing a display of Depression-era photographer Walker Evans' work at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1938. David worked for the Farm Security Administration while studying at Antioch College, was a conscientious objector during World War II, planted trees for the U.S. Forest Service and photographed patients during admission for a Spokane, Washington, mental hospital prior to becoming involved with the motion picture business. His big break occurred when famed photographer Imogen Cunningham told the backers of a short feature that she wouldn't make it without Myers' participation, which is how he wound up directing the documentary short Ask Me, Don't Tell Me (1961). During the 1960s Myers traveled the world shooting documentaries for both National Geographic and the United Nations (he was a pioneer in the field of cinema verite). However, it was his vital and substantial work on the classic Oscar-winning landmark rock concert documentary Woodstock (1970) that really cemented David's status as a top cinematographer of rock documentaries. Among the other rock documentaries Myers subsequently photographed in the wake of "Woodstock" are Johnny Cash in San Quentin (1969), Elvis on Tour (1972), Joe Cocker: Mad Dogs & Englishmen (1971), Soul to Soul (1971), Wattstax (1973), Let the Good Times Roll (1973), Save the Children (1973), The Grateful Dead (1977), Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz (1978), Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps (1979) and Joni Mitchell's Shadows and Light (1980). David also shot the Oscar-winning documentary Marjoe (1972) and the speculative paranormal documentary The Mysterious Monsters (1975). Outside of his documentary credits, Myers was the cinematographer for such feature films as George Lucas' debut feature THX 1138 (1971), Welcome to L.A. (1976), Bob Dylan's Renaldo and Clara (1978), FM (1978), Roadie (1980), Zoot Suit (1981) and UFOria (1984). He was an honorary member of the Society of Operating Cameramen. David Myers died at age 90 following a stroke on August 26, 2004.
