Making Music Herstory has some very talented musicians and songwriters collaborating on this project. This week’s profile is on an incredible musician and songwriter, Paris Strother. She is an extremely talented pianist, songwriter, arranger, and composer that we are proud to have on the project and are excited to be working with. “Paris always brings me back to the music. It is such a thrill to hear her play, to hear her songs. The music is what this whole project is about so I’m so happy to have so many talented women in music,” comments Executive Producer Lisa Chamblee-Hampton.
By the age of 13, Paris began to play professionally around Minneapolis for such events as mayoral inaugurations and fundraisers, and soon graduated to playing the most renowned jazz clubs in the Twin Cities by age 15. By the time she finished high school, Paris had already performed with some of the Twin Cities’ best performers and musicians. She then took the most practical step towards turning her passion into a career; she decided to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
Berklee proved to be a challenge for Paris, but a challenge she welcomed. The encouraging yet intimidating climate pushed her to better her craft, and by the end of her second year had graced every stage, big and small, at Berklee. She easily adapted to the different styles that all of these opportunities called for, ultimately transforming her into a talented artist in many different genres.
In May of 2008 Paris graduated with Bachelor's degree in Contemporary Writing and Production, and continued her education by working in production and development for the historic Monterey Jazz Festival, and as the Special Programs Coordinator for the Thelonious Monk Institute. She now lives in Los Angeles, California, and is working as a performing artist, songwriter, and teacher. Paris has developed into a “noteworthy talent”, Keep an eye on her! www.parisstrother.com
