Mica Parris & CEO: The Next Best Voice and Producer Pairing

A good song is usually the product of very hard work by two very different groups of people – the singer and the producer. A producer helps transform a song into a tune that people would want to hear. An artist serves as the heart of the song, a person that provides the vocals in a very convincing manner that will have listeners begging for more.

Think about Mariah Carey in her early success when Tommy Mottola enlisted the top producers during that time to make her debut a success. Names such as Ric Wake, Narada Michael Walden, and Rhett Lawrence were employed to turn Mariah into a singing star, and look at where she is now.

Successful singer-producer combinations aren’t just for solo artists. In fact, successful boybands of the past, Backstreet Boys and N’SYNC, worked with a set of producers who knew how best to showcase the vocals of these groups to their audience.

Although still in the starting stages, a very successful future can also be in the cards for singer Mica Parris and producer CEO DrumAddictz. It’s still a bit early which is why we can call them Mica Parris & CEO: Sacramento’s Best Voice & Producer on the Rise.

ABOUT MICA PARRIS

Mica Parris’ real name is Michaelle and she was born to a Haitian mother and African-American, Native-American father. She was born in Santa Rosa, California, but she was raised in Portland, Oregon. Avid followers of NBC’s The Voice might recognize her as the winner of the “Artist on the Rise” competition. For that, she won an opportunity to get mentored by singer Monica.

Mica’s talent for singing was discovered at the tender age of three. Since that time, she has been found singing in church school choir concerts and musicals. She did this throughout elementary school and up to college. Her voice was further enhanced when her mother enrolled her in piano and vocal lessons when she was 13.

Her singing style is rooted in old school soul, but with touches of modern R&B and Top 40 pop-rock. Needless to say, this girl has some really killer pipes!

Her sound is unique yet vividly familiar, which is propelled her to get noticed for the “Artist on the Rise” prize. She is also a RocDaMicLa/Warner Bros. Records showcase winner.

Mica’s musical inspirations are varied. She admires Tiffany Evans, Beyonce, Destiny’s Child, Rihanna, Keri Hilson, and India Arie.

Not only is Mica a talented singer, but she is also an experienced performer. Her captivating stage presence coupled with unique tone has allowed her to perform in various concerts, weddings, singing competitions, and night clubs. She is also a member of a capella sextet vocal group. She has also been flown across the country to perform live for a healthcare organization, which was a televised production for their Centennial Anniversary. She also recorded a jingle for the organization.

Mica has also sung alongside notable artist and multi-Grammy winner Skyler Jett. She has also opened for the likes of BB Kings in NYC, Christopher Williams of The New Jack City movie, Dawn Richard (formerly of Diddy’s Dirty Money), and Danity Kane of Bad Boy Entertainment.

She has also sung back up on the same stage as Brian McKnight, SWV, Boyz II Men, Bell Biv Devoie, Michel’le, Jon B, and Al B Sure in the Ladies Night Out Concert series.

Mica has also had the privilege of working with talented producers, including a 4-time, Dove-award winning producer to remake Disturbia by Rihanna. This particular remake was distributed to Bally’s Total Fitness as a workout track and even reached the Top 40’s in its genre on iTunes.

ABOUT CEO DRUMADDICTZ

CEO DrumAddictz forms part of the production team of Sacramento, California-based The DrumAddictz. He is a hip-hop, R&B, pop, and gospel producer.

Who knows what the future holds for this talented singer-producer pairing? But they are off to a good start creating good music together.
