It’s a sonic journey, shifting and evolving like a residing entity, all within the service of emotion and a story of non-public transformation. It’s equal elements dystopian and hopeful. I really like music that refuses to play by the foundations of particular genres, and Personas is my approach of embracing that ethos.”
