Ill persona, In its many shapes and forms was originally formed in 2002 by guitarist Jimmy "Dooner" Cole and bassist Corey Davis. The two started writing and preparing songs looking for that perfect someone to sing them. Then entered vocalist John Andrew Bubba Smith. With smith they were on their way. With many gigs and a couple drummers under their belt, they then met Drummer Derek "D-Rock" Russell in 2004. The final band lineup was complete.
