“...this is a band on the precipice of bursting onto the DIY scene (and many a lineup).” - Sophie Prettyman-Beauchamp

Music for the Comfortably Strange

Created by the World's Biggest Daydreamer

       Originally from Venice, C.A., The Paradoks have played numerous shows across California including their ‘Runaway’ and ‘No Sleep Tonight’ weekend tours and released their debut album, ‘Stuck In A Dream’, on July, 2021 resulting in a front-page feature and interview in Southern California's Paradigm Zine and their very first professionally made music video for their song, "Know Where?". Authenticity is a key ingredient in The Paradoks from personality to lyrical content. Their music ages with them as lyrics reflect their stage in life during the time they were written. Topics range from personal experiences to beliefs and concerns; one huge concern being the welfare of our planet. In fact, physical prints of the band’s debut album are eco-friendly thanks to manufacturers Atomic Disc. Though the band is going through a change in line-up, Janet Diane Gutierrez (singer, main songwriter, guitarist) has remained the driving force of The Paradoks since its upbringing and has stated that she has no intention of quitting her musical career.
