Today we’d like to introduce you to King Pari. Them and their team share their story with us below:
You wake up to the smell of churros coming through your window. It’s unseasonably warm and you’re not hungover, like, at all. The public pool opens in ten minutes. You walk even though it’s kinda far, and on the way, you find a ten-dollar bill on the sidewalk. The pool is packed and everyone’s playing that game where you grease up a watermelon and try to catch it. The sun is fuckin’ blasting. The beers are seven dollars but you’ve got two cold Red Stripes in your backpack. Some kid has this sick boombox and asks you what to put on. You already know exactly what you’re choosing. It’s gotta be King Pari.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
We started the band just before the pandemic, which meant that we had hardly had a chance to perform with this group before everything shut down. We’d also only released 1 song at the time, ‘Sunshine’, so initially it felt like the pandemic slowed some of the momentum we had building. Waiting to release the rest of our debut EP ended up being the best decision, though, as we were able to link up with a couple of record labels, Acrophase Records and People’s Potential Unlimited, to release the new music.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
We write and record all of our music on our own at home, which allows us the freedom to create however we want to. We’re always chasing what feels right and good to us, not necessarily what might be “correct” according to the book.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
The music that we love the most doesn’t follow trends, and that’s a big part of what draws us to it. People creating genuine music from an authentic and unique place within themselves. We think artists like this will continue to shine despite any changes to the industry.
