Fusing together genres of metalcore, experimental and even a dash of
pop, Portrait Of The Artist creates a musical experience both uplifting
and inspirational. Formed in August of 2006, Portrait Of The Artist is
composed of six musicians from the Central Valley of California hoping
to push the envelope and show that music can be both fun and serious at
the same time. POTA is: Nick Swisegood (vocals), Alex Leslie (bass),
David Delaroca & Aaron Weimer(guitar), David Stump(drums) and Jeff
Thorkelson(keyboard). With music that is both heavy and melodic, POTA
brings a new aspect to the metal scene with brutal breakdowns, unique
riffs, melodic piano and catchy choruses.
