About the facilitator:
Since 2013, Paris Pick, affectionately dubbed the ‘Yacht-Pop Princess’ — has made nothing but waves with her signature brand of alt-yacht-pop-rock music. Originally hailing from Whitehorse, Yukon, and now smooth-sailing her way back into the stunning landscapes of British Columbia (where she was born), Pick continues to build her musical empire.
Over the past decade, Pick has toured extensively and has performed at acclaimed showcases such as BreakOut West, Liverpool Sound City (UK), POP Montreal, Focus Wales (UK) and as of 2026, Tallinn Music Week (EU). With her unmistakable voice, fearless fashion, and catalogue full of shimmering songs about life, love, growth, and heartache, Pick blends crunchy-cute guitar with breezy mid-’70s vocal melodies and hooks that leave audiences swooning long after the show is over. It’s safe to say she’s successfully carved out a niche of her own.
In her career so far, Pick has opened for Canadian artists such as Yukon Blonde, Apollo Suns, Brass Camel, Jennifer Castle and Wax Mannequin to name a few and has recieved praise from Canadian media personalities, George Strombo of The Strombo Show as well as Ed the Sock from Much Music. In August 2025, Pick was featured on Exclaim!’s NEW FAVES: Hottest Canadian Artists You Need to Hear Right Now list. Previously, in 2022, Pick earned a spot in CBC Music’s Toyota Searchlight: Top 100 Artists list.
