To me, a voice is a podium, or a sort of pulpit. It's not just a medium to sing songs with. A song is just words. I don't sing songs. I sing protests, epiphanies and catastrophes. Emotion is more than just love and heartbreak. With an eclectic worldview and unique method, Parisa gives a distinctive, revitalizing outlook on an industry bound by genres.
A born and bred New Yorker, Parisa began performing at age 3, when an astonished neighbor listened, through an open window, to the toddler belting out cartoon theme songs and lullabies early each morning. Over the years, Parisa refined and meticulously perfected her style and approach through years of training at a well-known New York performing arts school. It was her voice however, that has caught the ear of industry professionals nationwide.
The Voice.
Quaking yet calming. Commanding yet nurturing. It is Parisa's sound that allows her to so passionately tell her experiences, thoughts and ideas. It has been described as "a flawless look into both the harmony and restlessness of the human soul." Parisa refined her voice through countless live performances at New York University Basketball games and such industry-renowned venues as The Village Underground, constantly formulating and reconstructing her style through the real-time feedback resulting from a live audience. She says, "Its simple. A crowd doesn't lie, they don't hold anything back. If they like what they hear, they show approval. If they dont, it is silent. That silence, or the fear of it, is what drives me. If people are not feeling, deep in their hearts, what I sing, then I did something wrong."
Parisa's highly anticipated debut album, Intelegance, is scheduled to be released early 2008.
