King Pari and Vicky Farewell with Gabriel da Rosa + DJ Lastword

King Pari is an almost accidental project. Cameron Kinghorn and DJ Stepmom (Joe Christensen) didn’t even set out to start a band. When Joe texted Cameron some jams whipped up on his tape machine, Cameron hit him back with, “What is this? I want in." Ten minutes before they first met up, Joe built the loop for their first single, ‘Sunshine,’ which they then wrote on the spot in a flurry of collective inspiration. Now the duo's collection of work has grown, amassing millions of streams, radio play, shows across the US, and a fan base growing rapidly.

King Pari is much more than this serendipitous start though. The project is the culmination of Joe and Cameron’s years of hard work in the Minneapolis scene. Their musical talents afforded them opportunities few have experienced, from being invited to play shows at Prince’s Paisley Park by Prince himself to performing with Prince’s band New Power Generation. The two draw inspiration from the “no limits” nature of the Minneapolis sound, pushing it forward as they see it today.

All of these moments culminate in King Pari and lay the groundwork for one of the most exciting new projects in music right now. With their debut project, “Mary”, out everywhere and official remixes on the way from the likes of Peanut Butter Wolf, Moonchild, and Ginger Root it is clear that the future for King Pari is extremely bright and only getting brighter.

Vicky Farewell is an Orange County-bred multi-hyphenate penning the hybridized contemporary pop that she never could have dreamt until she began to create it herself. A freak of nature by music industry standards, Farewell is a classically-trained pianist, songwriter and sideman cum producer with the rare combination of elite musicianship and singular vocal performance.

Graduating from conservatory and a stint on the jazz circuit, Vicky Farewell flourished at the epicenter of the funk-addled Angeleno musical ecosystem alongside The Free Nationals in the studios of Shafiq Husayn (of Sa-Ra Creative Partners) and Dr. Dre. She counts Anderson .Paak and Mac DeMarco amongst her chief supporters; Farewell is signed to DeMarco's upstart imprint Mac's Record Label and boasts writing credits on .Paak's acclaimed GRAMMY-nominated album Malibu (Best Urban Contemporary Album) and the GRAMMY-winning album Ventura (Best R&B Album). It was at the urging of these giants, that Vicky Farewell would find her sound and ultimately her own voice. Her dreamy, glassine aesthetic encapsulates a musical youth entrenched in the catalogs of Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, The Cardigans and the Rushmorian boy bands of the early-aughts. Tapping into those attributes, Farewell recorded her forthcoming solo debut Sweet Company during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. The self-produced, arranged and engineered album is a testament to Vicky Farewell’s knack for penning pocket-driven ear worms that match melancholy with unbridled joy.
