Growing up in a musically curious household in the coastal town of Port Macquarie, Australia, 28-year-old Nigel Malcolm aka Paris Lights bathed in a rich tapestry of genres, from soul and funk to 60s psychedelic explorations to ambient and jazz ensembles. Training in piano from an early age, their own creative spark ignited in the instrumental realm of hip hop production, as a contemporary experience of jazz and rap. There always remained a desire to translate these intricate rhythms and stories into a captivating performance experience. , using loops and performance to tell the stories so meticulously created in the recording studio. Their debut and sophomore album releases, 2022's 'Club Nautico' and 2023's 'Majestic 2202', showcase how their creative compass points enthusiastically towards the innovative percussion production styles of Madlib and DJ Muggs, while gentle soul melodies callback to Alfa Mist and intertwine with the complex musical structures of Richard Spaven, creating a unique sonic signature. The looped, instrumental nature of the music forges a familiarity to the music within the listener. This better allows Paris Lights to use the music as a platform for telling personal narratives, often incorporating film dialogue and spoken word samples into their work, inviting audiences to share in the messages of the music's journey._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For all current releases: linktr.ee/parislights contact:
