PARRIS MITCHELL

Parris Mitchell doesn’t write songs for wallflowers—he writes for the overthinkers, the feelers, the ones who live a little too loud and love a little too hard. Blending the emotional sharpness of singer-songwriters with the polish and punch of Top 40 Alt/Pop, Parris has carved out his own lane somewhere between nostalgia and now. His music feels like a coming-of-age movie with a better soundtrack; full of wit, honesty, and choruses you will sing in the car on a road trip.

Originally the front man of Nights Without Cars, Parris has toured the country and opened for Andy Grammer, Gavin DeGraw, Switchfoot, and more, and he's continued to build a devoted following with his solo work. His songs like the anthemic “Backyard,” the dreamy vulnerability of “I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love,” and the raw, windows-down honesty of “Cigarettes”, feel like confessionals disguised as pop songs. His ability to blend melancholy with momentum makes his work feel both deeply personal and endlessly replayable. His most recent single “Honey, I” will bury itself in your ears with its snappy lyrics and irresistible chorus.

Parris has been featured on prominent Spotify playlists like Crisp and Fresh Finds, and earned praise from tastemakers at Earmilk and other outlets for his clever lyricism, genre-blurring sound, and magnetic emotional pull. Whether you’re spiraling or soaring, Parris Mitchell has a song for it, and he’s probably already written the chorus you didn’t know you needed.
