In late 2007, four friends from Carshalton decided it was time to start a punk band. George Mann, Owyn Chester, Luke Naim and Pedro Monteiro all started learning instruments to chase this dream, although it never came together. Shortly after the idea was set aside, current Lead guitarist and vocalist, Connor Fulcher, decided it was time to pronounce his interests In setting up a band with George and Owyn. All that was needed after this was a drummer. It was then, in 2009, when George, Owyn, Connor and new found drummer Simon Roberts, gave birth to the band that later became known as Change Persona. Simon drummed with the band for around a year and a half, but left the band towards the end of the summer of 2010, due to him perusing his career in becoming a drumming tutor. After Simon's departure, the band started the search for a new drummer. Auditions took place for all of the potential candidates who wanted to sit behind the drumkit of Change Persona. The band announced Emma Tickle as their new drummer in August 2010. The band enjoyed 7 months with Emma behind the drumkit of Change Persona. In January 2011 Emma announced that she wished to leave the band at the start of March due to lack of time available to practice. Auditions were then held, and Roger Muntzer became drummer for the band in April 2011. www.myspace.com/changepersona Change Persona not only play in the local area, festivals and private events, we are also interested in playing parties in the Surrey area.
