The Short Story:

Since 2013, Paris Pick, also known as the ‘Yacht-Pop Princess’, has made nothing but waves with her unique brand of YACHT-POP music. Originally hailing from Whitehorse, Yukon, and now smooth-sailing her way back into the stunning landscapes of British Colombia (where she was born), Pick continues to build her musical empire. After a decade filled with promotional tours across Canada and showcases at prestigious events like Breakout West, Liverpool Sound City, POP Montreal, and Focus Wales, she has successfully carved out a niche of her own. With her distinctive voice and a bold fashion sense, Pick delivers uplifting songs about personal growth, love, and heartache, all perfectly weaved together with crunchy-cute fuzz guitar solos and mid-70s inspired vocal melodies that leave listeners swooning.

In her career so far, Pick has opened for Canadian artists such as Brass Camel, Jennifer Castle and Wax Mannequin to name a few, and has been recognized by Canadian media personalities, George Strombo from The Strombo Show as well as Ed the Sock from Much Music. In 2022 Pick was placed on CBC Music’s Toyota Searchlight: Top 100 Artists List.

The Long Story:

Coming in at just over five feet in height, Paris Pick is the definition of short and sweet. But looks can be deceiving. Over the years, a lot of people have been fooled by Picks size and composure to be completely knocked out by both fierce and heartfelt performances that reveal a voice far bigger than the vessel it’s held in.

The honesty of Pick’s lyrical delivery makes listeners feel as if they’re being let in on a secret as they’re swept away by her expressive mix of optimism and frustration, sensuality and sensitivity. Together, Pick and her listeners share in the constant war between self-confidence and insecurity that her music exposes. Tuning into Pick’s music is like being gently pat on the back while you scream out in anguish the unheard truths of an old lover. Love, loss and redemption served up hot. Heartbreak has never felt so good.

Paris cites contemporary artists such as Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Mac Demarco and Bahamas as inspirations, while her soulful pop style and vocal bravura recalls the sounds of Hall and Oates in their heyday. “Imagine the Eagles, but with more fem-power” says Pick.

Currently Pick is working on her third full length record “Third Time’s a Charm” with Yukon based producer Jordy Walker at Stackwall Sound which was partially funded by Government of Yukon with it’s official release coming in 2025.

About “The Pricks”

“The Pricks” add flavor to Pick’s original repertoire with tasteful 70’s inspired back-up vocals, disciplined electric guitar parts, and hot grooves provided by a super funky rhythm section. The band name “The Pricks” is less of a reflection on Pick’s band members themselves, but more so a reflection of some of Pick’s past lovers.
