A founding member of Thera, Ronnie has been writing poetry nearly his whole life. He began to play guitar and write music at 16 primarily as a way to turn his verses into music. After teaming up with Stephanie the two began the synthesis of his poetry and Thera’s developing sound. Still the main lyricist in the band, he has now developed a considerable vocal repertoire as well, which now ranges from mellow harmonies to the impassioned screams that give an edge to Thera’s music.

Mason brings a level of musical quality and experience to Thera beyond his years, having played and toured nationally with The Lost Concept and Static Cycle, two of Alaska’s most popular rock bands, all by the age of 20. After first playing bass with Thera in Oklahoma for a short time, he later joined the band as lead guitar player and began helping to craft their music with his unique approach to guitar playing and songwriting. Creating a careful balance of technicality and simplicity, Mason’s guitar parts infuse the songs with a tension and beauty all his own.
