BIO:
The Persona formed in the Spring of 2003 from the fusion of the musical talents of Hiro (guitar/vocals/drum programming), Anthony (guitar), and James (Bass). Our philosophy of music stems from the Jungian concept of the "persona" as being merely the social facade of the self. It is to the "true self" beneath the "persona" to which we perform.

MUSIC:
An expression of "The beauty of opposites": harmony and chaos, love and hate, light and darkness. The Persona attempts to describe the most universal of human thoughts and emotions through harmonious and aggressive guitar work, melodious and driving bass lines, explosive and articulate rhythms, all balanced by atmospheric and emotional vocals.

The Persona has an electric musical aesthetic, distinguished from the existing music scene as it wends its way inward, outward, and towards the new musical horizons. The Persona calls themselves as "Experimental Alternative Nostalgica."

INFLUENCES:
Lamb, Hooverphonic, Radiohead, Bjork, Cocteau Twins, Sigur Ros, Lisa Gerrard, etc.
