FANTASY FOLK-ELECTRONICA. MODERN MUSIC FOR YOUR ANCIENT & MAGICAL SOUL.
Parabola West (Amy Tucker West) is a New Zealand-based singer / songwriter and ‘Fantasy Folk-Electronica’ artist & performer. Drawing inspiration from Celtic & Nordic folk roots, Parabola West’s music is a lush soundscape of old-world folk + new-age electronica, ethereal vocals, and a dash of fantasy. It’s modern music for your ancient and magical soul. 🦋
“Think of it like mixing piano-driven folk with your favourite female-fronted synth-pop band and then adding a dash of Middle-earth.”
Her latest offering is a single called “Tattoos” and is about “the things we show to the world versus what we keep hidden for ourselves. I think we all have tattoos on the inside – that private gallery of thoughts, memories, fantasies, and feelings kept under lock and key.”
Her work has been been featured in Woman’s Day NZ Magazine, NZ Musician Magazine, and Enchanted Living / Faerie Magazine.
Other fun facts are that she:
✨ lives completely off-grid in an eco-home up a misty mountain, complete with a hobbit-inspired music studio.
✨ is a 100% independent artist with no label affiliation – proudly fan-funded.
✨ enjoys crafting crowns and elven headpieces in her spare time
✨ was born and raised in the USA and moved to NZ in 2003
Other interests include: sacred geometry, ancient folklore, sound frequency healing, lunar cycles, and the great mysteries of the universe...
