Planet Green/David Johnson

Dave "Diggity Dave" Aragon
Pimp My Ride accessories master by day and lead singer for the band "Dead Boys Club" by night, Dave "Diggity Dave" Aragon lends his artistic talent to everything he does. He prides himself on being different, and his trademark spike hairstyle actually takes a lot longer to do than most people would suspect! Diggity Dave signed a deal with Toxic Waste clothing design and continues to design clothing and paint. Beyond music and art, Diggity has also tapped into the television and film world. In addition to his appearances on the hit MTV show Pimp My Ride, he has also developed a production company called Seven with a Switchblade, which has produced several scripted and reality TV shows. Diggity's participation as one of Tommy Lee's posse members on Battleground Earth made him aware of the issues facing our environment and he describes the series as "Survivor meets The Apprentice gone green with a thrashing of rock and rap."

Johnny Colt
Johnny Colt was the original bassist for The Black Crowes. He is currently the bass player for the band Train and also the temporary replacement for Jason Newsted in Rock Star Supernova. In the fall of 2007, along with Train tour manager Thomas O'Keefe, Johnny opened NoDa Studios, a band rehearsal studio located in the NoDa neighborhood in Charlotte. A legend in his own right, Johnny Colt is the kind of person who's at rest while in motion. Having sold more than 10 million records, Colt thrives on challenges and vibrates with an infectious energy that pulls everyone around him along for the ride. Playing in the band Train helped Colt bridge the gap and crossover from Rock to Top 40 resulting in multiple Top 40 hits. In October 2006, Colt received a phone call from good friend Tommy Lee asking him to join super group Rock Star Supernova with Tommy, Gilby Clarke from Guns N' Roses, and lead singer Lukas Rossi to go on a world wide tour and play the biggest arenas on earth. Colt's friendship with Tommy led him to join forces again to work on Battleground Earth, where this time the environment—not the music, takes center stage.

Nina Bergman
Nina Bergman is active on many fronts of the entertainment business, working with writers and producers on her music; performing at some of LA's most notable music clubs; making numerous television appearances, most recently performing her original music on this year's Baseball World Series and Fox Sports College Football playoff games. She starred opposite John Malkovich in the IWC movie, The One You Deserve, and was featured in the Gnarls Barkley video, "Gone Daddy Gone" as well as many commercials. She sung the theme song for the Lion's Gate feature film, Catacombs, and produced, directed, and starred in her own film, Wannabe which was entered in the Los Angeles International Film Festival and screened at the Arclight Theater. Nina is the lead singer and songwriter of her own band Dead Rose Beauty, and the band is currently in the studio wrapping up their debut album. She has two movies coming out in 2008, and recently shot a pilot for CBS with fellow Battleground Earth cast mate Diggity Dave called Who's Next In Music about the underground music scene. Nina is passionate about environmental awareness and works with several organizations to help protect animals and also serves as a motivational speaker for at-risk youth.
