Persia: Projects, Artistry & Sexuality in Music
We caught up with Persia (@persia.uk) to find out what projects she has planned. We also spoke about whether sexuality is needed to promote yourself as an artist in society.
Persia is a Manchester-based female MC and lyricist who has been making waves in the independent music scene. Her track Body Anybody (produced by JSD MCR / Midication) showcases her raw talent and authentic voice.
In this interview, we dive deep into her creative process, upcoming projects, and have an honest conversation about the pressures female artists face in the industry when it comes to image and sexuality.
It is a conversation that needs to be had - how much of yourself do you have to sell to succeed? Persia gives her unfiltered perspective.
This is what Mancunia Rebel is about - giving platform to independent artists speaking their truth.
Note: This interview was originally recorded 4 years ago. As we build out this new platform, we will be integrating our archive of articles and interviews from Tumblr. Stay tuned for more content from the vault.
