On the people who made the version that prompted me to post this:
Jayesslee is twin sisters Janice & Sonia Lee from Sydney, Australia. Janice is 10 minutes older than Sonia, & they use a Rode NT1-A microphone & Canon EOS 7D camera. (& that's just about all I can get on them) :)

On the original artist:
Switchfoot is from San Diego, CA. The band's beginning can, in essence, be traced back as far back as singer/guitarist Jon Foreman can remember - in an interview, he described how he & his brother, Tim, had been "playing music together for as long as [he] can remember"*. Then came another member of the to-be band, drummer Chad Butler, whom Jon knew from their high school days; the two of them had been in separate bands in college, & after they went separate ways, Jon, Tim, & Chad came together & formed Chin Up in 1996.
Signing with Re:think Records, they re-named themselves Switchfoot - a term taken from surfing - "to switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change & movement, a different way of approaching life & music"*. As the records came, they eventually recruited guitarist Jerome Fontamillas, & finally Drew Shirley. Since Switchfoot's inception, they've released 8 studio albums (the latest being "Vice Verses" on Switchfoot's own lowercase people records [w/ distribution through Atlantic] on Sept. 27th, 2011), in addition with a number of EP's & B-sides.
This song is from their 3rd LP, "Learning to Breathe"[re:think; 2000] (it was also re-mixed for their next album "The Beautiful Letdown"[Columbia; 2003]). It peaked at #17 on Billboard's Hot 100 & more, & has won two 2005 Dove Awards: Rock/Contemporary Song of the Year & Short Form Music Video of the Year.
