Tess
Parks
A native of Toronto, Tess Parks moved to London, England at the age of
seventeen where she briefly studied photography before deciding to focus
on music. Tess made an impression on industry legend Alan McGee, founder
of Creation Records, albeit the timing of their meeting could hardly have
been less ideal; McGee was no longer involved in music and Tess was due
to move back to Toronto. After moving back to her hometown in 2012, Tess
formed a band on the advice of McGee and less than a year after their
meeting, he returned to music with his new label, 359 Music. Tess became
one of his first signings and released her debut record ‘Blood Hot’
in November 2013 to excellent reviews. One reviewer described her as “Patti
Smith on Quaaludes”. Others have mentioned her "gauzy psychedelic
sound” and "smouldering voice”. Alan McGee himself said:
“She’s only 24 and is already an amazing songwriter... she
just doesn’t quite know she is yet … her most beautiful quality
is her lack of ego. Tess is an amazing lady”.
