MikelParis™(pronounced "Michael Paris–one word, two capitals")is a multifaceted artist whose over a decade tenure as keyboardist, percussionist, and backup vocalist for the celebrated American rock band O.A.R.–is only the beginning of his story.
The MikelParis experience is a vibrant fusion of funk, folk, soul, and rock that has him spinning a kaleidoscope of sound. He masterfully weaves the art of 'stomping' from his early days with the percussive Off Broadway ensemble Stomp, with his signature 'GuitarDrumming’ technique, creating a rich musical tapestry.
His songwriting merges lyrical introspection with energetic spontaneity that draws inspiration from the classic sounds of Billy Joel, Elton John and James Taylor to modern icons like Prince and Peter Gabriel, and bands like U2 and Dave Matthews Band.
He is also the producer and host of "TuneTrek" and 6 Days, music docuseries that takes MP across the U.S. as he unearths musical gems in history's hidden corners–from the echoing halls of haunted inns to the serene ambiance of castles, museums, and zoos.
His new album, Snidbits (2024), is a vibrant showcase of his life on stage, on the open roads and during the COVID-19 pandemic with fan-favorite tracks Is What It Is and B Good 2 Me.
