MikelParis

MikelParis is the O.A.R. keyboardist, a solo artist, Stomp alumnus, live‑streamer and filmmaker. In 2007, MP recorded, produced, and released his first album, Flow . In 2013, he recorded, produced, and released his second album, HIHOWAREYA, VOl.1 . His latest album, Snidbits, was released in February 2024.

Beginning in March of 2022, MP started releasing new songs on a regular cadence leading up to the April 2023 release of HIHOWAREYA VOL. 1 RD10. Maximizing his creativity and artistry, he created, produced, and hosted TuneTrek, his history through music docuseries. He's filmed more than 65 episodes in locations across the United States with seven episodes airing on two PBS stations. Episodes began airing in April of 2023 with new episodes released regularly.

Driven to uniqueness and to showcase his musical style, MP created a performance method called GuitarDrumming, which uses an acoustic guitar for both percussion, bass and string accompaniment to his vocals. Many of his original songs feature this style.

In March 2020, with touring on hiatus due to the global pandemic, MP felt compelled to continue bringing music to his fans, and to continue growing as a creative. He began livestreaming A Song A Day (ASAD), an interactive show with a focus on music, drink, and stories. In December 2021, the A Song A Day live‑stream was rebranded as Music. Drink. Stories. (MuDriS), and is still going strong.

In July 2021, MP joined the production staff of Violet Hour Media’s horror podcast, Red Riding Hoods, composing the original score, recording foley, and editing 10 podcast episodes.

And then in February of 2022, MP created his production company Zornu Productions as a place for all of his creations to live. ZP Inc is currently in production for numerous
projects including MikelParis Snidbits, TuneTrek History through Music show, HIHOWAREYA VOL 2, and 6 Days traveling mini‑series.
