Paris Black

Paris Black was born in Denmark, moved to London, England and then to Canada at the age of ten where he still currently resides. A performer and artist at a very young age, he became a noted entertainer playing international engagements while having his art displayed at the Art Gallery-of-Ontario-by-age-12. Paris became a recognized Canadian Pop/Rock artist and teen heartthrob in the late '80s and early 90‘s, his smooth voice and sexy good looks landed him in a number of teen magazines. His debut album, released under the Trend Records label and titled Secret Seduction, hit the stores in 1988 and reached Gold status across the country. Three singles "Better Get Ready", "Lover", and "Buried Alive" were released the same year along with music videos. "Better Get Ready" topped the RPM Magazine's charts at number one and was used in the movie Wedlock starring Justine Bateman. His self titled album Paris Black released in 1989 by I.S.B.A. records and distributed by Sony Music was a huge success featuring songs written by Michael Bolton and Diane Warren. In 1992 Paris redirected his focus, becoming a top international model and TV personality. His studies with renowned acting coach Vic Perillo (Juilliard, Academy of Arts) landed him lead and feature roles in films as well as becoming the world’s most recognized Human Art Statue and Billy Idol tribute artist. Throughout this time Paris continued to perform and worked with renowned artists such as Platinum Blonde, Aerosmith, The Tragically Hip, and The Scorpions among many others. As well, he also worked alongside some of the world’s top producers and song writers such as: close friend the late Kenny MacLean of Platinum Blonde; Grammy award winner Steve Sexton; and multi-platinum producer/engineer Mark S. Berry, whose credits include some of the biggest names in the music industry such as David Bowie, Billy Idol,-and-Duran-Duran. After a lengthy hiatus from performing as a solo Canadian Pop/Rock artist, Paris Black is set to emerge into the rock music scene with a new sound and vastly different image from what fans will remember from the 80‘s. His raw, politically incorrect, yet sexy new rocker image is one that appeals to women and men across vast-age-groups. Signed by Attack/EMI Music and working once again with Mark Berry, he is set to explode onto the music scene in early 2010 with "I'm Not Jesus", a major rebirth CD that crosses multiple genres. Meanwhile he’ll also be representing Guess UK as the 2009 ”Guess Jeans Guy“ as well as appear in a few calendars.
