Biography

Canadian composer and singer of folk, pop and psychedelic rock, Tess Parks was born in Toronto in 1992. She learned to play guitar at the age of ten, and left her hometown seven years later to move to London, where she studied photography at art school before devoting herself to songwriting. One of the first signings to 359 Music created by Alan McGee - founder of the renowned independent label Creation Records -, Tess Parks recorded the EP Work All Day/Up All Night in 2013, followed by the critically acclaimed psychedelic folk album Blood Hot. A meeting with Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman Anton Newcombe led to the recording of two albums for A Records, I Declare Nothing (2015) and Tess Parks & Anton Newcombe (2018), confirming journalists' interest in her hazy voice and assertive style. In 2019, an accident forced the singer to abandon the guitar for her other hobby, painting. Nevertheless, the sum of tracks recorded over the years between London, Toronto and Los Angeles was enough to provide material for the album And Those Who Were Seen Dancing, released by the Fuzz Club label in 2022 and followed by Pomegranate in 2024.
