PA'R ANDERSON - POP

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio by her grandmother, who introduced her to performing arts at an early age, PA’R pronounced "Pear" is a family nickname, short for Paris.

One summer, Paris called every Theatre in the yellow pages. After countless calls, she stumbled across “The Columbus Children's Theatre”, who was casting kids her age for the hilarious Christmas show “The Best Christmas Pageant Event”. Although she did not get the part and feeling discouraged, she asked the director for her headshot back; assuming he was not going to cast her. To her surprise, he declined and offered a one line role in “Yes Mrs. Beverly”.

Theatre was just the beginning for this budding star. PA’R picked up dance classes and began writing music. Loving it so much she picked up a dance minor in college. After transferring from ASU to Otterbein she met two guys (A hip hop artist and vocalist). The chemistry was so good they became a trio and named themselves “Liberti Movement”. Feeling unstoppable the trio auditioned for “XFACTOR" (2011) and made it all the way to Hollywood’s boot camp. After being eliminated the trio became a singing duo and renamed themselves “Libertye”.

Libertye headlined 2 China tours (2013-2014), received months of syndicated radio spins for their single “Lose Control” and performed for many celebrities as well as at Hollywood clubs and events. After a solid 3 year run, the Duo split and PA`R began her solo career.

This Tina Turner inspired artist is currently working on her EP and it’s only a matter of time before the world becomes familiar with the name "PA'R". FACEBOOK
