Tess Parks is a young musician and photographer. Born and raised in Toronto (Ontario, Canada), she's the granddaughter and daughter of musicians, and dropped out of art school at the age of 17. She immediately moved to London to study photography and to pursue music. Playing solo, she gt so lucky to make friends with Alan McGee (359Music's CEO, and one-time venue owner in London), and the likes of Dandy Warhols.
Oh my, what the heck have they put in my to-do box now! No, wait a minute Tony, before slaggin' this thing down, first get to the history bit! Yeah...well okay!
There is apparently a history of friendship between this Liverpool based artist, and 359Music's CEO & producer Alan McGee, which goes back to 2007, when Chris was fronting the band The Grants and played at McGee's West London night club Death Disco. According to McGee, they clicked on the basis of both being “a round peg in a square hole”, and if he'd had a label back then, the band would've been signed on the spot!
