Decades After Paris is a band from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Initially formed as the duo, Danton Jay and Heather Lynn in 2014, the married couple renamed their act given the popularly of their 2015 debut album's title, Decades After Paris.

History
In June of 2013, Heather-Lynn rediscovered her voice at the Social Change Institute, located in the Salish Sea off the coast of BC. As a professional climate change communicator, it reawakened in her the power of music as a means to foster change.

Inspired by passionate change agents, Heather wrote a song to encourage them, which she has been requested to perform for audiences at several sustainability conferences since. It also led her to seek others of the same ilk.

After finishing an environmental psychology degree, Danton traveled Eastern Europe with his artistic lens on culture and environmental change. Driven by the desire to express his lament for humanity's apparent disdain for itself, he wrote, arranged and produced an album, which includes a musical rendition of an essay by David Suzuki.

Upon his return, Danton started working as a project manager in the BC Government’s natural resource sector and crossed paths with Heather. As Danton prepared to host a benefit concert for a local environmental organization, the chemical components for their future endeavors came together.

Danton and Heather jointly ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund their first album about the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) in Paris, and our future with Climate Change.The successful campaign led to the 7 song album that was released in 2015 named Decades After Paris.

Two years later, the popularity of the name lead Danton Jay and Heather Lynn to rename their band to "Decades After Paris."
