Bret Levick and Sven Spieker have been working
together on different projects since the early 90's when they both graduated from The Grove School Of Music's film scoring program.
Their 1999 self-produced Pinch Hit Records release 'Excess, Lies and Heather's Arrest' under the band name GiftHorse was arguably one of the year's most successful and critically acclaimed indie rock endeavors. It sold over 10,000 copies, charted on commercial radio in 11 markets, kept them touring for a couple of years and spawned several licensing deals allowing them to invest in their studio and start Nightdaddy Music.
Over the years they have licensed compositions to such companies as Jive Entertainment, CBS, Teen NBC, MTV, ESPN, HBO, MGA Entertainment and FOX Television.
