On the Couch - #180 - MEX in conversation with Paris Toon

My special guest this week on the Business of Entertainment on Cape Talk is Paris Toon, the Billboard charting award-winning lyricist and musical enigma behind Mother's Favorite Child. (Paris was also a keynote speaker at Music Exchange #MEX24 in November 2024 )He is an extraordinary business entrepreneur, songwriter and producer who never seems to stray for a moment from his forward driven vision of success in the music world and beyond.Paris started out as a hip-hop producer and has done production and remix work for many platinum selling projects during his career. His influences range from Prince, Quincy Jones, Sly Stone, Rakim, Omar, Bob Marley, Herbie Hancock and the Head Hunters. These influences make themselves evident in his compositions and many of the lyrics he writes. As newer artists came about, Paris’s inspiration grew in even broader directions while still holding firmly to the musical pioneers from the past. His writing style has the genres of R&B/Soul, Funk, Jazz, Dance, Hip Hop and Rock to a level unfamiliar to most, provoking intense curiosity and appreciation for the “next phase of music”.With these inspirational forces embedded in his spirit, Paris Toon has set out on the mission to push Mothers Favorite Child to the front lines.Paris is the binding force of Mother's Favorite Child. His Passion and “full speed ahead” attitude make it possible for those who work with him to focus on the most important thing; the song. Whether it’s music, art, fashion or business, Mothers Favorite Child is armed with everything it needs to propel honesty, raw and a holistic environment to to the masses.
