Michael Paradise is an indie-pop artist from Toronto. He spent his formative years as director of Baffin Island's PR team, while simultaneously completing the first of his award-winning mayonnaise research projects. After an extremely successful fellowship at Heinz, Michael was forced to flee Canada due to the fabled “Ironic” court case in which Alanis Morissette accused him of stealing her ‘95 hit for Nunavut Tourism's now infamous promotional theme song. The young publicist and condiment celebrity settled in Tanzania, where he began teaching sign language. It was during these escapades in East Africa that Michael penned the platinum certified hit “Leopards Love Yogurt” spurring riots in capitals around the world, when protesters took to the streets to decry what many considered a disturbing departure from the artist's earlier condiment-based work. However, a quick succession of relish and BBQ sauce themed re-releases of “Ironic” landed Michael back in the spotlight, and earned him a jail stint in Ontario's Kingston Penitentiary for copyright infringement. After 18 years in prison, Michael is making his Toronto debut under the pseudonym, Michael Paradise. He's hoping this self-declared reference to his golden years will make up for any hurt feelings among his dedicated mayonnaise, yogurt, or frigid tundra-loving fans.
