PARIS JACKSON

Paris Jackson has lived a life that has veered between sheltered and agonizingly exposed. A true child of the 21st century, she combines a free-spirited hippie-punk sense of style with musical tastes that move freely across genres. At the same time, she is unmistakably her father’s daughter. Like Michael, Paris is deeply passionate, sensitive and intensely emotional. Her brother Prince has described her emotions as both one of her greatest strengths and something that can occasionally cloud her judgment.

Paris has more than 50 tattoos, several of which are dedicated to Michael Jackson. She has explained that her father brought her nothing but joy and that she values having permanent reminders of that happiness on her body.

Paris, also known as PK, has described herself as a musician, traveller, tree hugger, lightworker and activist. Alongside her musical career, she has worked internationally as a model and actress. She is represented by IMG Models and has appeared in film and television projects including Star, Scream, Habit, American Horror Storiesand Doctor Odyssey.

Music has been an important part of Paris’ life from an early age. Although she had written and played music privately for years, she was initially hesitant to call herself a singer-songwriter. She publicly began her musical journey as one half of the acoustic folk duo The Soundflowers, formed with Gabriel Glenn in 2018. Their music was described as original Southern Californian folk created by two musicians simply “trying to do the damn thing.”

The duo released its self-titled debut EP in June 2020. Their creative partnership and personal relationship were documented in the Facebook Watch series Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel, which explored their music as well as Paris’ spirituality, sexuality, family life and personal struggles.

Later that year, Paris launched her solo career with the single “let down.” Written initially in her bedroom with only a guitar, the song transformed the pain of a breakup into intimate alternative folk. Her debut solo album, wilted, followed on November 13, 2020, introducing an atmospheric sound shaped by folk, indie rock and deeply personal songwriting.

Paris continued broadening her musical identity through collaborations with artists she admired, including The Struts, with whom she released “Low Key in Love,” and Manchester Orchestra. She followed wiltedwith the lost epin 2022 and released songs including “lighthouse,” “just you,” “bandaid” and “hit your knees.” Her music gradually became louder and more guitar-driven, drawing inspiration from alternative-rock acts such as Nirvana, Pixies, The Smashing Pumpkins and Interpol while retaining the acoustic-folk foundation of her songwriting.

From 2022 onward, Paris also developed into an increasingly confident live performer. She appeared on television, played festivals and intimate pop-up shows in the United States and Europe, and joined tours with artists including Patrick Droney, The Revivalists, Silversun Pickups and Incubus. Her performances allowed her to move beyond the quieter vulnerability of her early recordings and embrace the heavier alternative-rock sound that had always influenced her.

In 2026, Paris entered a new chapter with the announcement of her sophomore album, HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE, due for release on August 21 through Republic Records. The eleven-track album includes the singles “teenage drama,” “zombies in love”and “stitched (on & on).”It was created with songwriters and producers including Linda Perry, Butch Walker and Jason Lader and reflects influences such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies, Marcy Playground and Bright Eyes. Paris described the project as a collision of sound, experience and emotion, created for her teenage self and for anyone who once felt the way she did.

With HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE, Paris continues to establish herself on her own terms: not only as the daughter of one of the most famous artists in history, but as a songwriter, musician and performer with an increasingly distinct artistic voice.
