Paris Toon is the Award-winning lyricist/producer and musical enigma behind Brooklyn born Jazz Soul band Mother’s Favorite Child. He is an extraordinary (soon to be published) poet, composer and producer who never seems to stray for a moment from his forward driven vision of success in the music world.
Paris started out as a hip-hop producer and has done Jazz Soul production and remix work for many different projects during his career. His influences range from Rakim and Stevie Wonder to Sly Stone, Prince and John Lennon. These influences make themselves evident in his compositions and many of the lyrics he writes. As newer artists like D’Angelo, Jill Scott, Maxwell and Adele came about, Paris’s inspiration grew in even broader directions while still holding firmly to musical pioneers from the past. His writing style has taken the genres of Soul, Jazz and R&B to a level unfamiliar to most, provoking intense curiosity and appreciation for the “next phase” of Soul music. With these inspirational forces embedded in his spirit, Paris Toon has set out on the mission to push Mother’s Favorite Child to the front of the music lines.
Paris is the binding force of Jazz Soul band Mother’s Favorite Child. His passion and “full speed ahead” attitude make it possible for those who work with him to focus on the most important thing; the music. Whether it’s Soul, R&B, Jazz or Funk music, Mother’sFavorite Child is armed with everything it needs to propel honest, raw and timeless music to the masses.
IndieHitMaker exists because artists cannot directly report their live show sales to SoundScan. Only record labels and distribution companies that pay the annual fees and fit the mandated requirements can qualify for this exclusive program. Since most independent and unsigned artists sell the majority of their CDs at live shows, without IndieHitMaker these sales would go unreported and unaccounted for in US SoundScan sales numbers making it next to impossible for industry executives, deal makers, and A&R to discover you. By simply reporting all your sales to SoundScan, you can significantly increase your awareness within the industry. Sell enough and everyone will know when you get on the Billboard Charts.
