THE SHORT STORY
Since 2013, Paris Pick, affectionately dubbed the ‘Yacht-Pop Princess’ — has made nothing but waves with her signature brand of alt-yacht-pop-rock music. Originally hailing from Whitehorse, Yukon, and now smooth-sailing her way back into the stunning landscapes of British Columbia (where she was born), Pick continues to build her musical empire.
Over the past decade, Pick has toured extensively and has performed at acclaimed showcases such as BreakOut West, Liverpool Sound City (UK), POP Montreal, and Focus Wales (UK). With her unmistakable voice, fearless fashion, and catalogue full of shimmering songs about life, love, growth, and heartache, Pick blends crunchy-cute fuzz guitar with breezy mid-’70s vocal melodies and hooks that leave audiences swooning. It’s safe to say she’s successfully carved out a niche of her own.
In her career so far, Pick has opened for Canadian artists such as Yukon Blonde, Apollo Suns, Brass Camel, Jennifer Castle and Wax Mannequin to name a few and has recieved praise from Canadian media personalities, George Strombo of The Strombo Show as well as Ed the Sock from Much Music. In August 2025, Pick was featured on Exclaim!’s NEW FAVES: Hottest Canadian Artists You Need to Hear Right Now list. Previously, in 2022, Pick earned a spot in CBC Music’s Toyota Searchlight: Top 100 Artists list.
THE LONG STORY
Paris Pick may stand just over five feet tall, but her voice and presence are larger than life. Flamboyant performances that balance fire and vulnerability, Pick and her sequin-clad Pricks deliver a bold blend of yacht-pop charm and lyrical intimacy, music that feels like a whispered secret, wrapped in crunchy guitars and mid-70’s shimmer!
Born in North Vancouver and raised between Squamish and Port Hardy, Pick has forged a unique path in the Canadian indie scene. Dubbed the Yacht-Pop Princess, she’s toured for over a decade and has earned spots at high-profile events like BreakOut West, POP Montreal, Liverpool Sound City (UK), and Focus Wales (UK) to name a few. Her soulful-pop sensibility, unforgettable choruses and vocal bravado have drawn comparisons to Hall & Oates, while a few of her contemporary inspirations include Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Mac DeMarco, and Bahamas. Or as she puts it: “Imagine the Eagles, but fem-fronted. The Walsh & Felder era of course…”
Pick’s songs speak to the messy in-between, where confidence and insecurity duke it out, where love and heartbreak hold hands. Her music doesn’t shy away from the emotional rollercoaster; it leans into it. Listening to her is like getting a comforting pat on the back while you scream out the truth about someone you used to love. Love, loss, and redemption served hot… heartbreak never sounded so good.
She’s opened for Canadian staples like Yukon Blonde, Apollo Suns, Brass Camel, Jennifer Castle, and Wax Mannequin to name a few and has earned nods from cultural figures like George Stroumboulopoulos (The Strombo Show) and Ed the Sock (MuchMusic). In 2025, Pick was featured on Exclaim!’s NEW FAVES: Hottest Canadian Artists You Need to Hear Right Now list. Previously, In 2022, she was named one of CBC Music’s Toyota Searchlight Top 100 Artists.
On September 5th 2025, Pick released her third full-length album, Third Time’s a Charm, via Neon Moon Records. The album was co-produced with Jordy Walker at Yukon’s Stackwall Sound and was partially funded by the Government of Yukon. It promises to be her most confident and captivating work yet.
ABOUT “THE PRICKS”
“The Pricks” add flavor to Pick’s original repertoire with tasteful 70’s inspired back-up vocals, disciplined electric guitar parts, anthemic solos and hot grooves provided by a super funky rhythm section. The band name isn’t a jab at the players themselves — it’s more of a cheeky nod to a few of Pick’s past lovers.
