Formed in 2018, National University of Singapore students Joshua Arthur (Vocals), Junior Lim (Bass), and Erjill Sison (Guitar) met and bonded over a mutual love for heavy, alternative music.
Each of them having had prior experiences with music, the trio decided to kickstart a project to satiate their hunger for creating their own brand of music. Roping in musically like-minded university friends, Brandon Lim (Drums, Cinnamon Persimmon) and Marc Lee (Guitar, ex-The Great White Lark), the band's lineup was set and ready to go. Taking the name Verdant, meaning a lush green, the band sought to challenge the idea of the grass being greener on the other side.
A collaboration of five musical storytellers, Verdant's music is a retelling of a day's events in our lives that may have passed us by – fleeting and taken for granted, yet shaking us to the core.
