Paris grew up in Crescent City CA, but moved to Las Vegas about 9 years ago, and has been doing shows ever since. Paris was part of the The World Famous Folies Bergere at the Tropicana for four years and an original Beachers Baby in Beachers Madhouse at the Hard Rock as well as Zen Magic at Planet Hollywood. Paris has traveled to many places such as London and Canada just to name a few. Performing is my life and I can't see myself doing anything else. I love to Sing, and with that being said I actually auditioned for American Idol Season 11 and out of 200,000 people that auditioned, I managed to get the Golden Ticket to go to Hollywood that was a huge step for me. I'm also a Dancer, do Acrobatics, I am a choreographer an actor and an artist and a designer. People often call me a Renaissance man. I had an odd inspiration in becoming a performer. My father raised homing pigeons when I was growing up and watching them fly inspired me to become an entertainer. I now raise homing pigeons and they will always be part of my life as they helped me to become the person I am today. In a world where you can be anything? Just be yourself.
