DITCH: You\u2019re very theatrical in your performances. What role does persona have in your work? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Linford<\/strong>: I studied musical theatre. I’ve done drama and musicals and all of that. It’s all artifice. It\u2019s our job to communicate to the audience our vision to transport you to the place that we’re trying to take you. So, whether that means dressing the stage, dressing ourselves, creating intro music or choreography \u2013 the message behind each song drives how we perform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there anyone you look up to and say, \u201cWow, I resonate with their music and I’d like to kind of have that impact?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are a few, like Kate Bush and David Sylvian from a band called Japan. They’re weirdly avant-garde and theatrical but they also restrain themselves in the pop world. But the main one for me is probably David Bowie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/ditch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2025\/03\/VOYA-Press-Shot-3-EDit-MedRes-1024x512.jpg\")
