Hide AdParis grew up singing gospel music with her grandparents at her South London church in Lewisham. By the time she was a teenager she was already making her start in the music industry, performing with Spirit of Watts gospel choir and the 80s pop band, Hollywood Beyond.
Aged 19 she released her platinum-selling debut album So Good on Island Records. Since then she has released eight top-selling records, performed in the West End, published a book and collaborated with some of the biggest names in pop and soul, including Prince, Anita Baker, Natalie Cole and Boy George.
In December 2020, Paris released her first album in over a decade. The album, Gospel, was met with universal acclaim and topped the UK R&B charts. Gospel weaves together new material with traditional classics and interpretations of timeless pop hits, including Foreigner’s I Want To Know What Love Is, Rag ‘N’ Bone Man’s Human and U2’s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.
Speaking ahead of her appearance at The Fire Station, Mica said: "I am over the moon to be playing at The Fire Station in Sunderland. Sunderland is a beautiful city with beautiful people. It is going to be magical!
