Paris
Paris hails from the San Francisco Bay Area and was catapulted onto the national scene in 1990 with his hit single The Devil Made Me Do It and album of the same name. Since then he has gone on to sell over 4 million units independently, cementing his status as one of the original architects of independent hip-hop label ownership.

A veteran of the industry, Paris has negotiated with and done business through a who's who of labels and distributors -- Tommy Boy, Def Jam, Priority, 4th & Broadway, Luke, Def American, Capitol, EMI, Caroline, Groove Attack and Fontana/Universal, among others.

In 2003, Paris founded his label and website, Guerrilla Funk Recordings. Born out of necessity, it's a musical organization that was founded to provide balance in the intolerant climate of suppression of dissent that arose after the terror attacks of 9/11, providing a home for projects featuring such notable acts as George Clinton, dead prez and Public Enemy, among others.

Paris' production continues to be in high demand, and lately his original material has been featured in various Hollywood productions, including HBO's Prom Night in Mississsippi, MTV's Making the Band, Everybody Hates Chris and CSI:NY. In addition, his musical contributions are soon to appear in the forthcoming film End of Watch, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña.
