#RAMIRO ORTIZ-SUAREZ :: BODYGUARD, STAR MODI .

NOT MUCH IS TRULY KNOWN ABOUT RAMIRO ORTIZ-SUAREZ, except that he is often spotted as STAR MODI’s ever-present shadow for as long as the american public can remember. hired by ISAAC MODI originally to keep a watchful eye over the young twins, he is one of the only things that truly ties star to her father.  BORN IN SPAIN, ramiro’s story truly begins when he was fifteen, immigrating to the united states with his father. los angeles was truly a different beast for him, but quickly, he fell in love with both the city and the pace of life there. he was a good student, focused on his studies, and truly – bitingly intelligent.  after working a string of odd jobs to support himself, ramiro ended up in a security guard position simply by chance ㅤㅤ ━━ ㅤㅤ and a friend of a friend of a friend knowing someone.  he did not expect that security detail would become his line of work, and yet it was something that he was good at.  it became a thread that he followed, so much so that it took over his entire life.  he never had much of a personal life, often letting his relationships fester and fall apart in exchange for his work.

#ROCKSOUND MAGAZINE :: INSIDE THE MIND OF DANNY CRAVEN: THE ENIGMATIC LEAD SINGER OF THIEVES

CRAVEN LAUGHS, and the mood shifts to something lighter, even after the conversations that we had shared about her history. That is something about Danny: somehow, she has the ability to lighten almost any mood. Her demeanor is light, airy, and full of whimsy and joy, despite the misery she may or may not face (and the way, she says, her band mates enjoy playing in her face). When Danny started Thieves, she thought she had a band of brothers, ones who would stick by her until the end. “They actually all kind of picked out their replacements,” she admits, a bit of a wistful smile under her glasses, adjusting them with the base of her palm before continuing. “So, in a way, every single member has stuck by me, you know?” She shrugs lightly. “I don’t hold any ill will against them. they’re living their lives, moving towards their own goals. What I want isn’t always what the entire group wants, and I get that.” The entire history of the band has been a revolving door. With each original member leaving, someone new stepped up to Danny’s side. “My brother, Jacob, he was Oz’s replacement, and Duke replaced his brother, Aaron. Eric basically asked for Mick to replace him if anything ever happened, so that’s…” She trails off, and there is a wistful look in her eye. Eric Lancer, the original drummer for Thieves, passed away in 2021 in a car accident. Craven recalls “…not being sure what to do. Eric was an intregal part of the band.” But they, collectively, as they had done many times before, picked themselves up and pressed forward. “Lacer would have become a ghost just to kick my ass and haunt me if we disbanded Thieves after he died. We couldn’t go anywere. This band was just as important to him as it is to me. When I wrote Wish You Were Here for him, we all knew it was gonna be a setlist staple.” She smiles, takes a sip of her drink, and there is that lightness again: facing a conversation about the death of her longtime friend. “Lacer would come back to life and kill me if I wasn’t having a good time. ”

#OSCAR "OZ" GREENWOOD :: FORMER GUITARIST OF THIEVES & PHOTOGRAPHER, ART DIRECTOR, & VIDEOGRAPHER .

BORN IN ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA, with humble origins, oz greenwood had always been an artistic child with big dreams. spending much of his time skating, dirt biking, learning guitar, and more importantly, filming his friends doing those things, his parents were more than happy to have a child who had a seemingly nondestructive outlet for a hobby. his self-proclaimed "mostly uneventful" childhood was filled with incessantly scraped knees, calloused fingers, and a slouch developed from first learning to develop film, then editing on computers. after two years in community college, oz then transferred out of state to the art institute of seattle, where he met DANNY CRAVEN, AARON DUKE, and ERIC LACER, who were in the throes of working out what thieves could be: all they needed was another guitarist. featured on their first EP, rain in july, their first studio recording, growing pains, and a history of bad decisions, while oz enjoyed the music, he quickly came to realize that he much preferred to be behind the camera. amicably stepping away from the band ( and being the first member the first to step away from thieves ) , he first settled into the music scene in seattle, mostly working on band photography, and then branched out to more creative projects: in 2023, he was the art director for thieves' album in bloom, creating almost every visual that went along with the album's release and music videos. he currently resides in los angeles, california, where he balances photography and works with various bands on the visual aspects of their creative process. he is most known for his bright, oversaturated colors and almost surrealistic, alice in wonderland-adjacent style.
