Description:
PARADIGM
An intense, avant-garde modern rock band hailing from the suburbs of Chicago, IL. Paradigm is full of passion and integrity, ranging from heavy driving madness to engaging atmospheric realms, deviating from todays prevalent and ubiquitous trends.

Paradigm’s lifelong goal predominantly diverges from the norm. Putting aside what the majority greedily desire – popularity -, Paradigm truly and honestly dreams of entering the realm of the mainstream in hope to instill integrity and righteousness in a world full of immorality and dissipation. With audacious lyrics, powerful beats, beefy bass lines, infinitely striking guitar solos, engaging stage presence, and not to mention the routine backstage pre-show prayers, Paradigm effortlessly turns heads and stuns every audience – every song, every show – leaving them breathless.

Regardless of the stereotypical rebellious label painted on Rock bands, Paradigm members Nate Leslie, Allan Marcial, Raul Cotaquispe, and Jack Essenburg all believe that God has blessed these four talented and musically savvy teenage musicians with a beautiful gift to show the world, to glorify Gods name, and to do what God has called them to do.
