BIO

"Blessed with all the charisma and charm in the world, Toronto artist PÄTER continues to surprise and beguile us with the energetic glow and appeal of their explosive alternative pop/rock sound" - Kieran Rogers, CLOUT

Enter the Päterverse. After grabbing the attention of listeners internationally by posting original music online, Päter (Iran-born, Toronto-based Parmida Kakavand)’s debut single ‘Dam, Damn’ racked up over 2,000,000 streams on Spotify alone.

Two EPs and a string of self-directed visuals later, Päter is back with their debut LP project, ‘4-7 Company’. Teaming up with Vancouver producer Howard Redekopp (Tegan & Sara, Mother Mother), Päter explores the solitary hours between 4-7pm, when you’re "alone with your thoughts and anything can happen”.

As vulnerable as it is theatrical, the album sees Päter confidently navigating through their brightest and darkest storytelling yet. Throughout 2024 and 2025, Päter will take their upbeat, exuberant live show on tour for the first time, spanning Canada, the US, and eventually beyond.

"Dramatic, unrelenting and poised just-so, Päter's latest is a tidal wave of emotional release and technical proficiency. It's the sound of a formidable artist announcing their arrival."

York Calling

"Put simply, this debut is stunning. With it, Päter gives us a labour of love. It’s rich with some classic song writing and brutally honest lyrics. It’s more evidence, if we needed it, that Päter is one to watch."

- Graeme Smith, York Calling
