Kill Paris Looks to Inspire with his Latest Single

It’s been an interesting year for Kill Paris. After the attacks last year in Paris the artist decided it was necessary to change his name to Chill Harris. The name didn’t last long though as a year after the attacks in Paris he has changed his name back to Kill Paris. To accompany the name change he has released a fantastic collaboration with Nevve and Monstre titled Junkie. Here’s what he had to say about the name change:

Nearly 13 years ago, I started making music under the name kill paris. Since its incarnation, it has never stood for anything violent or negative. It has always been about being real, about being human, and not conforming or supporting the “famous for nothing” lifestyle. In fact, the name was originally derived from Romeo & Juliet. In reading the play, you’ll realize that the meaning of the name “kill paris” is about true love – unfiltered by material possessions or social status.

As most know, nearly a year ago, some horrible things happened in Paris. Innocent people had their life taken away from them. On that day, because of my name, I started receiving very troubling messages and comments… I can’t say how much these things affected me. I decided that it was best to change my name. It wasn’t something I had to do, but I felt it was the right thing at the time.

Since then, I truly felt like the floor had fallen out from underneath me. The project that I had spent 13 years working on was gone. Changing the name to Chill Harris felt right at the time, but I felt weird releasing any music under the name. I felt the people who really followed kill paris were confused. Hell, I was confused! So after having time to reflect, I’m convinced going back to kill paris is the right thing to do. I am not going to cower from expressing myself in terms of fear. I stand for love, peace, self-reflection, and making this world a better place through music.
