Johny Jordan
Owner/Musician/Vocals/Electronics
Johny Jordan is the founder of HGTH Productions. He is one of the few whom actually know what the acromnym HGTH stands for. He controls this web content and, of course, the music. Not a tune is produced without his sticky fingerprints being stamped all over it. Johny enjoys making music with random objects and enjoys playing his instruments the way they're not intended to be played.
He was formerly employed at KVPI in Ville Platte (his introduction into the music business) and now is employed at Acadiana Broadcasting, which is comprised of 3 radio stations and is located in Crowley. Influences include: AC/DC, AFI, Jimi Hendrix, Rancid, Tsunami Bomb, The Ramones, Buddy Holly, Skip James, Tegan and Sara, The Misfits, The Sisters of Mercy, The Insane Clown Posse, Master P, Ballzack, and fellow musicians.
Johny prefers to leave the second 'n' out of his first name because he thinks "it looks cooler."

Chaun-C
Vocals
Chaun-C, a.k.a. Crazy Chauncey, a.k.a. Chica-Chica Chauncey is a rap artist, plain and simple. His antics come across as quite comedic, but he is adored for his bizarre style. Chauncey was born and raised in the Mamou/Ville Platte area where he conceived his rapping abilities. Free-styling, composing lyrics, and of course, rapping, Chauncey does them all.
Chauncey erupted on to the scene when his song "Can't Get It Up" became a cult hit in early 2005. The song became the most popular tune HGTH Productions had ever made. He's been using his bootlegged cd to get girls into bed with him ever since. Influences include: T-Bone, Eminem, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, and Lil Flip.

Guitar/Vocals
Chris has recorded many tunes with HGTH Productions. He has been playing guitar for about 7 years and has been involved with his former local garage band, ThinIce, which has had numerous name changes including Feels Like Friday and False Illusions. Chris has since started a solo project.
His vocal ability is quite astounding for someone his age, but is no match for his dynamic guitar playing.

Bond
Guitar
Bond, Casey Bond is originally from the Ville Platte/Vidrine area. He has been playing guitar for as long as Jesus has been dead. Miraculously, he's only in his early twenties. He likes to party and is a riot to have around. That aside, his stylings bleed excellence into the microphone. Covers of Neil Young and Bob Dylan tunes tend to be his forté when recording with HGTH Productions. He sticks to acoustic guitars and appears to be a sexy pirate.
