Tallinnas sündinud ja muusikute peres sirgunud Holger Marjamaa alustas 6-aastaselt klassikalise klaveri õppimist Tallinna Muusikakeskkoolis, 7-aastaselt lisandusid sellele jazzklaveri ja trummi eratunnid. Üks suurimaid mõjuisikuid noore muusiku teel oli David Kikoski, kellelt avanes 13-aastasel Holgeril võimalus eratunde saada. Pärast lõpetamist õppis Marjamaa edasi Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemias, Sibeliuse Akadeemias ja ühes maailma mainekaimas konservatooriumis, Manhattani Muusikakõrgkoolis jazzklaveri erialal. Professionaalse muusikuna hoiab Marjamaa klaveritooli Grammy auhinna võitnud trompetisti Chris Botti koosseisus ning on esinenud ka maailma tuntuimate muusikute ja esmaklassiliste koosseisudega nagu Lee Ritenour, Dennis Chambers, Lizz Wright, David Kikoski ja Eesti Riiklik Sümfooniaorkester ja paljud teised. Marjamaa oli poolfinalist 2018. aasta Thelonious Monki nimelisel jazzklaveri võistlusel, 2013. aastal pärjati ta Eesti nooreks jazzitalendiks ja möödunud aastal aasta jazzmuusikuks. Marjamaa muusikukarjäär on viinud ta New Yorki, kus ta elab alates 2015. aastast. Holger Marjamaa on nõutud jazzpianist Ameerika Ühendriikides, Euroopas ja Aasias.
Chad Lefkowitz-Brown, keda New York Daily News on ristinud Saksifenomeniks, on tuuritanud kogu maailmas bändijuhina ja koos erinevate superstaaridega Chris Bottist Taylor Swiftini. Ta on esinenud solistina koos Juilliard Jazz Orchestraga ning teinud kaasa mitemekordse Grammy auhinna laureaadi Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra koosseisus. Chad Lefkowitz-Brown on üks oma põlvkonna nõutumaid jazzmuusikuid ning sotsiaalmeedias on kogunenud tema ümber lojaalne fännibaas enam kui 275 000 jälgijaga. Jazzimaailma imelaps Chad esines juba 11-aastaselt kontsertidel üle terve New Yorgi osariigi kohaliku jazzikangelase George Reedi juhendamisel. Muusikakraadi omandas Lefkowitz-Brown Burbecki instituudis, jazzilegendi Dave Brubecki mainekas stipendiumiprogrammis, kellega koos ta õppimise ajal regulaarselt esines. Oma õpingute jooksul pälvis Chad palju tunnustusi, sealhulgas 15 ajakirja DownBeat üliõpilasmuusikaauhinda kategooriates „Parim jazzisolist“ ja „Parim originaallaul“. Tema debüütalbumit „Imagery Manifesto“ on nimetatud aasta debüütalbumiks ning kaks kõige värskemat albumit „Onward“ ja „Live at The Bridge“ on salvestatud koos Randy Breckeriga, kellega Lefkowitz-Brown on tuuritanud kõikjal Ameerika Ühendriikides ja Euroopas.
