PSYKA formerly known Psyka PH is a rock band from Zamboanga City that was formed in 2017 by Connor Payne Young (vocals), Christian Catain (keys), Epoi Ventula (bass), Eldrich Saculingan (drums), and Jhenno Mojica (guitars). The band enjoys making music and playing video games, as well as reading and watching conspiracies about science, space, extraterrestrial fantasies, and other weird stuff. In fact, this is where they get most of their ideas for their songs. A dash of the unusual never hurt a soul.
The band derived their name from the word “psyka”. It’s the term that refers to people who thinks, acts, and lives differently from the norm. In other words, unconventional and at some point, somehow radical to the society and it’s mundanities. It can also refer to the mentality of not concerning yourself about the opinion of others. And as the band aspires to be, they stay true to themselves and to the people around them. Instead of being boxed by society’s norm, they try to be who they really are, despite looking different in the eyes of the mass. This also helped them to develop their uniqueness in music.
It might sound pretentious but they do have a sense of peculiarity. Their music goes beyond what we normally hear about. But that’s what makes it great. It sets them apart from the other band. Their own identity built from the bizarre and unusual things they think of makes them unique. And you can say that they re not afraid to test it out in the industry with such concentrated love for the usual sound we hear. Aside from being true, you can say that Psyka PH is a mix of brave, bold, and unique.
