  • Richard "Ric" O(t)casek on yhdysvaltalainen rockmuusikko. Hänet tunnetaan paitsi The Carsin entisenä laulajana ja keulahahmona, myös tuottajana; hän on tällä alalla tehnyt työtä muiden muassa Weezerille, Raffille, NOFX:lle, Bad Brainsille, Three Six Mafialle, Big Punille, No Doubtille, Deborah Gibsonille ja Suicidelle. Ocasekin ensimmäinen sooloalbumi Beatitude julkaistiin Geffen Recordsilla vuonna 1982, ja sen yhteydessä nousi listan 15. sijalle single "Emotion in Motion". Ocasekin ura on jatkunut The Carsin hajottua 1988. Hänen tuorein oma studioalbuminsa on Nexterday. Hän on levyjensä lisäksi julkaissut runokokoelman Negative Theatre. Ocasek meni vuonna 1989 naimisiin jo vuodesta 1984 tuntemansa näyttelijä-malli Paulina Porizkovan kanssa kahden aiemman avioliiton päätyttyä eroon. Parilla on kaksi yhteistä lasta, ja he ovat yhä naimisissa.
  • Ric Ocasek, né Richard Otcasek le 23 mars 1949 à Baltimore, Maryland, États-Unis, est un chanteur, musicien et réalisateur. Il fut le chanteur du groupe new wave The Cars de 1976 à 1988. Il a par la suite enregistré des albums solos, avant de produire les albums de groupes tels Weezer, Suicide, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, Nada Surf ou The Killers.
  • Leader del gruppo "The Cars", Ocasek ha cominciato a pubblicare lavori da solista mentre il gruppo era ancora al culmine del successo. Il primo album esce nel 1982, si intitola "Beatitude" ed è molto diverso dal sound dei "Cars": quasi assenti le chitarre, molte le tastiere ed anche la voce sembra "elettronica". Il secondo album esce nel 1986: "This side of paradise" è meno elettronico del precedente con ospiti,come sessionmen, alcuni componenti dei "Cars": (Greg Hawkes suona tastiere e basso in tutte le tracce e canta come corista in 2 brani, Ben Orr canta come corista in 3 brani, Elliot Easton suona la chitarra solista in un brano), mentre Roland Orzabal, voce e chitarra dei "Tears for Fears", suona la chitarra solista in un brano. Anche in questo album c'è un brano "Hello darkness", scritto in coppia con Greg Hawkes. Il singolo prescelto è "Emotion in Motion" brano lento che assomiglia un po' a "Drive", un grande successo dei "Cars". "Keep on laughing" e "True to you" sono più ritmate e solari mentre in "p.f.j. " e nella titletrack riprendono gli esperimenti dell'autore. Il quarto album esce quando il gruppo non lavora già più insieme e questo è dimostrato dal fatto che in "Fireball zone" non compare nessun componente dei "Cars". La chitarra è massiccia in molti brani ma nessuno di essi diventerà un successo. Parallelamente alla carriera da musicista, con i Cars e da solista, Ric si è cimentato con la produzione di parecchi dischi come "Rock for Light" dei Bad Brains e "Do the collapse" dei Guided by Voices. Sicuramente i dischi da lui prodotti che hanno avuto più successo sono il Blue e il Green Album dei Weezer, entrambi multiplatino. Altri artisti con cui ha collaborato, spaziando dal pop al punk, includono Suicide, Hole, Bebe Buell, No Doubt, The Killers, Nada Surf, Black 47, Bad Religion, Johnny Bravo, D Generation, The Wannadies, Possum Dixon, Martin Rev, Jonathan Richman e più recentemente Teenage Graffiti dei Pink Spiders. È sposato dal 1989 con la modella Paulina Porizkova, da cui ha avuto due figli Jonathan Raven Ocasek nel 1993 e Oliver Orion Ocasek nel 1998. Ocasek ha incontrato la modella nel 1984, durante le riprese del video musicale Drive del gruppo rock statunitense The Cars di cui è leader .
