Zach Paradis, a singer and songwriter from Cleveland now living in Los Angeles, just released a new single called “Hurricane.” The track blends pop, hip-hop, and R&B sounds with emotional lyrics and a smooth, soulful vocal style. It's now available on all streaming platforms.
Paradis started his music career in Atlanta, where he worked behind the scenes as a producer and engineer. But after years of helping others make music, he decided it was time to focus on his own voice. He moved to Los Angeles and began writing songs that told his personal story.
“Hurricane” is about finding calm in the middle of chaos. Paradis says the song was inspired by someone who helped him feel safe when life felt overwhelming. The lyrics are thoughtful, and the production combines bright beats with a strong melody. His voice carries the emotion of the song clearly and powerfully.
Paradis grew up as the youngest of nine children in a working-class family. He was influenced by classic rock bands like Steely Dan, modern singer-songwriters like Ed Sheeran, and R&B artists like Bryson Tiller. These influences come together in his music, creating a sound that feels both personal and familiar.
He’s currently touring with Abe Parker through May 9, giving fans a chance to hear “Hurricane” live along with other songs in his growing catalog.
Zach Paradis is an artist who isn’t afraid to share what he’s feeling. His songs are honest, carefully made, and full of emotion. He’s building a unique sound by mixing different styles and writing lyrics that connect with people.
If you like music that blends pop, R&B, and hip-hop with real-life stories, Zach Paradis is someone worth listening to. "Hurricane" shows he’s not just making music—he’s finding himself with every song. Catch him this week at Mercury Lounge if you are in the NYC area or check out his other dates below.
