Paris Fotis-Zoubris and Simone Teti, (born the 28 of April 1991 and September 1st 1991 respectively), better known by their stage name Paris and Simo are a Canadian DJ due and record producers. Formerly known as Paris FZ and Simo T, they are now known simply as "Paris and Simo". Driven by ecstatic melodies and catchy basslines, they decided upon a self-fulfilling prophecy: to kick off a prolific career in music. And so, at the age of 15, they invested in a studio and DJ gear, and started their journey --the investment of a lifetime.

After winning Tiesto's 2011 remix contest for the single "Work Hard Play Hard", the duo was swiftly raised to the international map as fresh upcoming producers. This is exactly what attracted today's #1 DJ, Hardwell, to sign them up for his Revealed Recordings. Originals such as Nova, Tundra, Wait, Not Alone, Silent and monster hit Escape were heavily supported by the likes of Tiësto, Nicky Romero, Martin Garrix, NERVO, Sander van Doorn, and of course, Hardwell himself. Collaborations with 3LAU, Merk & Kremont, Mako, Rico & Miella and Jochen Miller were picked up by some of the most significant record labels in the global dance scene, including Spinnin' and Armada Music Records.

Led by a keen sense of intuition, their success has also brought them memorable gigs, stretching from Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco, to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Milan. Paris & Simo have also hit the decks at the Electric Daisy Carnival and Ecuador's Life in Colour, as well as entertaining and pleasing the crowds in world-famous clubs such as Pier 94 with Hardwell, Guvernment with David Guetta, and at Las Vegas' Marquee and XS. Paris and Simo can look back to a non-stop ride of highlights that also included touring their home country with David Guetta, where they represented the ever-popular EDM scene in Canada.

Music has always been an important part in the lives of these Montreal-based producers. Regulars at Canada's eminent clubs, both Paris and Simo developed an enduring passion for the colorful spectrum of dance music. Driven by ecstatic melodies and catchy basslines, they decided upon a self-fulfilling prophecy: to kick off a prolific career in music. And so, at the age of 15, they invested in a studio and DJ gear, and started their journey --the investment of a lifetime. Although there are two egos involved, there is always a strong balance in the Paris & Simo studio. Their musical chemistry pushes both their own personal and each other's creative limits, resulting in a distinctive, melodic sound. Bending the genres, their music can range from crisp progressive to big-room electro and bass-loaded house, which is a reflection of their open mindsets. Paris and Simo have gained an international following that does not only include the industry's key players, but is also bursting with an endless mass of dance music enthusiasts who follow their every move. It is certain and safe to say that the future is now for Paris & Simo. These two are living the dream and are continuing to boost their prophecy, one gig at a time.
