And it\u2019s true \u2013 for years, the world-renowned choreographer has been bringing some of pop culture\u2019s biggest songs and moments \u2013 like Rihanna\u2019s 2023 Super Bowl performance and The Beyonc\u00e9 Bowl NFL halftime show \u2013 to life. This year, Goebel was the creative director behind Lady Gaga\u2019s \u201c<\/span>Abracadabra<span>\u201d<\/span><span> video, for which she won a VMA, while also working on the Mayhem Ball Tour and Gaga\u2019s Coachella headline performance. But 2025 was also the year that Goebel committed to releasing her own music. With <em>A GIRL IS A DRUG<\/em>, she cements herself as a pop star in her own right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fans of Goebel will know that she previously released an EP, <\/span><em><span>Vicious<\/span><\/em><span>, under the name PARRI$ in 2016. Then, she stopped making music. \u201cI just had a really bad experience, to be honest,\u201d she says. \u201cI think I was a lot younger, naive and was put into the wrong hands; it really traumatised me, to be real.\u201d The years that followed, she says, involved \u201chiding\u201d behind other artists \u2013 until she started working with Australian record producer Kito, who executive-produced the EP. \u201cIf you can just find one person who believes in you, nurtures your vision and puts a battery in your back, that\u2019s all you really need,\u201d says Goebel. \u201cWith Kito, I finally found someone that I could feel safe with.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Raised in Auckland, New Zealand, Goebel started choreographing at ten. The Samoan artist has always been exposed to many genres of music, including traditional Polynesian. It makes sense then that <\/span><em><span>A GIRL IS A DRUG<\/span><\/em><span> draws on global club and dance music influences, spanning Jersey club, UK garage and dancehall. It\u2019s an EP you can <\/span><em><span>really<\/span><\/em><span> dance to, with features from BEAM, Sadboi and Jelani Blackman. Alongside choreography, Goebel has also been DJing more in recent years: signed with Diplo\u2019s label Mad Decent, he and Goebel often go <\/span><span>back-to-back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>A GIRL IS A DRUG, <\/span><\/em><span>as a true dance EP, was first put to the test at a private listening party with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entirestudios.com\/\"><span>Entire Studios<\/span><\/a><span> at a <\/span><span>warehouse space in Downtown LA on November 23. <\/span><span>Goebel and <\/span><span>Dylan Richards-Diaz, co-founder of Entire Studios, have a long-standing friendship, so it was a full-circle moment for the artist, who used to <\/span><span>practice DJing at <\/span><span>Richards-Diaz\u2019s birthday parties. There, in a warehouse doubling as a VIP sample sale before huge plastic sheets were pulled back to reveal a dancefloor, <\/span><span>Goebel danced on stage until 2am with Kito <\/span><span>and Tommy Genesis<\/span><span>. She played unreleased music to guests \u2013 including BB Trickz, Benee, Raven Tracy, Liz Cambage, Delilah Summer and other people in Goebel\u2019s global community \u2013 who created cyphers on the dance floor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After the party, we caught up with Goebel about all things new: New Year\u2019s resolutions, New Zealand designers and a new era of Parris Goebel music.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"52737824-ca78-452f-9715-b3a100d0b39c\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/1\/1431527.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.5\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Parris Goebel\u2019\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1431527.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1431527\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Entire Studios<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>Why was now the moment for you to release <\/strong><strong><em>A GIRL IS A DRUG<\/em><\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>It was just an itch that I needed to scratch. I\u2019ve been wanting to do it for a while now, but just never made the time for myself. I just kept kind of committing to other artists. This year, I finally made the commitment to put myself and my vision first. It sounds like a really easy thing to do, but when opportunities are constantly coming up, it\u2019s actually a really hard decision to make. Then, last New Year\u2019s, I was like, \u2018I\u2019m going to do it and make the jump\u2019. And I did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>But you\u2019ve also had a big year aside from this EP. How did you make time for your own music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>Man, it was so hard, to be honest. It was really, really challenging. With Gaga and Coachella, any day I had off wasn\u2019t a day off. I was going to the studio in any spare minute. I didn\u2019t rest, and I didn\u2019t stop, but that was a sacrifice I was willing to make just to finish the project. It was a commitment I made to myself. I\u2019m the type of person who, if I want to do something, I&#8217;m going to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I love that. And you\u2019ve obviously always been a storyteller through movement, so what kind of artist do you want to be when it comes to sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>I just see it as an extension of myself, my personality, and my creativity magnified through sound. With music, it\u2019s more than just the music; it\u2019s an experience. It can make you move and feel things \u2013 it\u2019s emotional. This music is very me. Even when you listen to the project, there are so many genres on it. I don\u2019t see any boundaries and don\u2019t want to box myself in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What drew you to these global club and dance music influences?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>I create from a place of music you can dance to and pour into your world, so it became part of my creative vocabulary. It\u2019s only natural that when I went to create music, I was pulling from the sounds I surround myself with. I travel a lot, and being able to discover music in different countries has been such a blessing to me. Constantly being at parties in different countries, diving into those genres and meeting new people all grow my musical vocabulary. My library of sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you start working with Kito?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>I met Kito a few years ago in London, and then I bumped into her at one of my best friend\u2019s birthday parties at the end of last year. We reconnected and she was like, \u2018You should make music again\u2019. I had actually already been thinking about it, and she gave me so much support and validation that it gave me the confidence to step back in the studio. We had no idea we were going to actually work on a project. It just started out as me getting it out of my system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How much does your background in choreography play into how you make music?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>The process is a little opposite because usually I get given music and create choreography. For my own music, it\u2019s creating something that\u2019s going to want to make me move. If I\u2019m in the studio and it\u2019s making me want to dance, that\u2019s my creative compass. If I\u2019m dancing, I\u2019m on the right track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>If I\u2019m in the studio and it\u2019s making me want to dance, that\u2019s my creative compass.

I know you go way back, so why was it important for you to continue to work with New Zealand designers and brands?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel:<\/strong><span> I feel like I\u2019ve known them since I was maybe 17. I knew Dylan back home through mutual friends, worked with them on Justin Bieber\u2019s <\/span><em><span>Sorry<\/span><\/em><span> video, and we\u2019ve just always supported one another. I think when you align with someone who has grown up in the same place as you, especially it being a small country that\u2019s so far from the industry, you know how hard it is to get to the top. We\u2019ve always been in each other\u2019s corner, and this party was kind of a no-brainer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did it feel bringing everyone together to celebrate <\/strong><strong><em>your<\/em><\/strong><strong> music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>It felt like it was truly all my favourite people in one room. And having the dance community there, with people I\u2019ve worked on jobs for Rihanna, Gaga and everyone, was my favourite part. There were people I\u2019ve grown up with, trained, made music with and even just crossed paths with. Looking around, I could see all these beautiful, creative people who have been a part of my journey in some way, shape or form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>I heard you played some unreleased songs, too? Does that mean there\u2019s more coming?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel:<\/strong><span> 100 per cent. I loaded the new music onto my USB, and I wasn\u2019t sure if I was going to play it or not, but I was like, \u2018Fuck it, let\u2019s just go for it\u2019. Everyone in the room started going crazy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve been part of some of the most iconic cultural moments in the last decade. Do you see <\/strong><strong><em>A GIRL IS A DRUG<\/em><\/strong><strong> as a continuation of that legacy or a step into something new?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t really look at everything I\u2019ve done as one big thing. They are all such individual moments to me personally. I know some people may look at my work as a whole, but it\u2019s been over a long span of time, and I\u2019ve changed as a person, so I see them as all these individual moments. It\u2019s really hard for me to wrap my head around it being a legacy. I just had this dream when I was young, and now I\u2019m fucking living it. Sometimes I\u2019m like, \u2018How did I get here?\u2019 It\u2019s all a bit of a trip to me. I\u2019m just going with the flow and doing whatever I want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next then? New Year\u2019s is coming up again. Do you have another big resolution?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Parris Goebel: <\/strong><span>I want to put out an album next year. That\u2019s on the top of my list. I just think the potential of music is huge and, now that I\u2019m DJing too, I want to play at big festivals. I want my music to be experienced by massive crowds. That would be the dream. I\u2019ve dropped two music videos, but I feel like I\u2019m just scratching the surface with visuals. I\u2019m just warming up, and the fact that everyone\u2019s really excited is something that\u2019s pushing me to just want to keep creating.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer
