Paris Fisher
Inspirational Rapper
Paris Fisher spent many years spearheading the hip hop culture while inspiring his community to reach higher and dream bigger. As a youth and community advocate, Paris has been at the frontline of positive urban and grass roots movements since his youth and remains there until this day. Through his music, community programs, outreach events, and clothing brand POAM Clothing (P.O.A.M. – Prospectors On A Mission), he continually seeks to inspire others to excel. Born and raised in the housing projects on the East Coast, Rhode Island, in the United States, Paris’ goal has been to impact the world with his gifts, and God given purpose. Opposite much of today’s false images and facades, his life does not reflect art, rather… his art and expression reflects his life. His Soul purpose is to win his community to God with the Gospel message of LOVE and Redemption through Christ, over Fresh tracks, and importantly, his lifestyle. The faithfulness of God, through Christ, has brought him through hard times and rough terrain, that he heartfully shares through his lyrics. From B-Boying to Emceeing, Urban Arts to Clothing Designing, Paris has been faithfully rep’n his culture and hood on many aspects. Today he boasts not in his accomplishments, but on how God has been merciful to him. He strives to live outside the box of religion and music, and in the liberty to be all that God, through Christ, has made him to be. His mission is to aspire his listener to do the same.
