Corey Baker, professionally known as Kill Paris, is a producer, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, and Ableton Certified Trainer based in Austin, Texas. After a chapter of releasing and creating more directly under his own name, Corey Baker is officially returning to his longtime artist name, Kill Paris. For more than 15 years, Kill Paris has been a staple name in electronic music, known for a sound that blends house, funk, electro-soul, future bass, and live musicianship into something instantly recognizable. His work has reached more than 200 million streams across platforms, supported 10+ headline tours, 30+ festival performances, 50+ cities toured, and multiple appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Raised in Indiana, Corey began playing guitar at 15 before expanding into piano, bass, percussion, production, and eventually the keytar, which became one of the most recognizable parts of his live show. As Kill Paris, he built a sound rooted in groove, melody, and movement, pulling from funk, house, electro-soul, and bass music in a way that made the project instantly recognizable.

Kill Paris first broke through in the early 2010s when Skrillex found Corey’s music on SoundCloud and signed him to OWSLA, the label that helped shape a defining era of electronic music. His first release on the label, To A New Earth, arrived in 2013, followed by the Foreplay EP in 2014. That early OWSLA chapter introduced Kill Paris to a wider audience and helped define what fans still love about the project: rubbery basslines, warm synths, funk-driven rhythm, soulful vocal chops, and a sense of fun that cut through a crowded electronic landscape.

Over the next decade, Corey continued building the Kill Paris world through major tours, label releases, and a catalog that kept expanding without losing its core DNA. He toured internationally with Zedd, across North America with Bassnectar and Big Gigantic, and headlined tours with Illenium and Manic Focus, along with multiple headline runs tied to the Galaxies projects.

In 2015, Kill Paris released Galaxies Between Us through Sexy Electric, followed by Galaxies Within Us on Monstercat in 2019. Galaxies Within Us marked one of the project’s biggest full-length statements, moving between ambient textures, experimental moments, upbeat dance records, and pop-leaning hooks. 

After years of releasing, touring, and evolving under the Kill Paris name, Corey entered a chapter where he explored creating more directly under his own name. That shift gave him room to grow, teach, release music, develop tutorials and courses, and deepen his role as an Ableton Certified Trainer. But it also clarified something important: Corey Baker is the person behind the music, and Kill Paris is the project people found, followed, danced to, and remembered.

That clarity is what makes this return feel natural. Kill Paris is the sound that built the connection. It is the catalog fans still come back to. And now, after years of growth, experimentation, and a little bit of name-change whiplash, Kill Paris is back.

The return is not about nostalgia for its own sake. It is about coming home to the version of the project that always felt most electric. The new era of Kill Paris carries the same DNA that made the project beloved in the first place: groovy house energy, funk-laced production, live musicianship, and tracks built for movement. But it arrives with the perspective of an artist who has lived a lot of life since the first wave, sharpened his craft, taught thousands of producers, and found his way back to the name that still feels like a magnet.

Kill Paris is back where he belongs: behind the decks, behind the keytar, and back in the sound his fans have been waiting for.
