Paravi

Date TBA

Paravi is a 23-year-old popstar, songstress & creative hailing from the cornfields of Ohio & Virginia, re-rooting herself in Los Angeles upon realizing she could get paid to be a drama queen instead of yelled at by her immigrant parents. To further legitimize this aspiration, she graduated UCLA’s School of Theater, Film & Television in 2023 on a full-ride scholarship with an emphasis in Musical Theater. Amassing millions of global fans from cover songs during quarantine, signing a major record deal with RCA Records in 2021, featured on the Grammy-nominated soundtrack for the 2022 blockbuster film “Elvis”, originating a leading role in the new musical “WILD: A Musical Becoming”, releasing her 2022 cover EP “Thank You For Being Here” as well as her 2023 self-titled debut original EP “PARAVI”, she still refuses to get her license, because if she has to be bad at something in life, she’d rather it be driving than performing. She and her metrocard dream of Broadway stages, sold-out world tours, blockbuster roles in Film/TV, and getting a $24 smoothie named after her at Erewhon.
