Paraiso is a blues/hard rock band from Staten Island New York. Founded by frontman Ricky Vega as a one man reggae act, he began gigging, playing acoustic shows around the island. Realizing that the solo route wasn’t nearly as loud and obnoxious as he would have liked it to be, Ricky began searching for full time band members. Peter was the first to join, and the most reluctant, being that he had only a small background in drums, and didn’t own his own set. Nevertheless, Ricky persuaded him to do something he was uncomfortable with (as is usually the case), and the two began their search for a bassist, finally finding a home with Joe Scarsella. Less than a year has passed since the final formation of the band, and now Pit, Jor, and Ralph have begun their ascent to rock and roll glory, and are asking anyone who digs soulful music to help them push!
