In light of the recent tragedy that has plagued the world, Corey Baker formally known as Kill Paris has now changed his DJ moniker to Chill Harris. The Colorado-based artist has taken to Facebook and Twitter to unleash some frustration from recent backlash due to his previous name Kill Paris, as well as to provide some clarity. He had chosen the name “Kill Paris” at the age of 16-years-old after having read Romeo and Juliet. In the play, Paris was the name of the wealthy suitor whom Romeo killed in the name of hate love.

Baker has always wanted his DJ alias to serve as a symbol for creativity and love, saying that “. From the beginning, it has always stood for sharing and focusing on the good and positive things in life, instead of magnifying and supporting the negatives in life.” Due to most people being unaware of this connection with Romeo and Juliet that is behind the name “Kill Paris,” Corey Baker has officially announced that he will now go by the name “Chill Harris” as he continues making music. You can view his whole post here below:
“By it’s definition a name is just a word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to. When I chose my name as an artist at the age of 16, it was after reading “Romeo and Juliet.” Paris was the name of Juliet’s rich and entitled suitor. I meant it as satire against a side of life that that tries to hold creativity and love down. From the beginning, it has always stood for sharing and focusing on the good and positive things in life, instead of magnifying and supporting the negatives in life.
While there is tragedy everywhere, every day, and every person has their own, the events in Paris yesterday have made me feel that my name as an artist is not appropriate anymore. What my music stands for is love and peace, and I hope my fans know that. Moving forward, I do not want people to get the wrong idea about me and my music just because I’ve gone under a particular pseudonym. I am dropping my old moniker and will now use the name Chill Harris.
My music has always been about sharing the moments with others where no language is needed to understand each-other. I will continue to share the love, and stay true to the music. I believe music helps us connect and understand each other. We need this understanding and respect for each other more than ever right now.
All of this said, this is NOTHING compared with what the people of France are going through right now. Please keep your thoughts with them. No matter your creed, age, place of birth or any other label that society has decided to create, we are all in this together. It’s so tragic when a few can forget this and cause so much pain to the rest of us.
There are people out there that could use all of our help right now. If you want to help, this site will let you know how” – Kill Paris Chill Harris
