Texas native Paris Taylor Patridge is a fashion model. But she has her eyes laser-focused on being a singer.

The 16-year-old was a recent winner in the Magnifique fashion competition held in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Magnifique is operated by Victoria Henley, a former contestant for “America’s Next Top Model.”

But in addition to her fashion ventures, Paris, who goes by Paris Taylor when she puts on her hat as a singer, just released her debut single, “Open Arms.”

Paris said her greatest passions lies in music.

“The world isn’t so dull when you have music,” said Paris.

“I’m working hard to fulfill my dreams and to always do what I love, which is to write and release my music,” said Paris. “I hope that my music will bring joy and entertainment for all of my fans.”

Paris said she is realistic about her chances to hit it big as a singer.

“I know my journey will have ups and downs, but it will be worth it,” said Paris. “I might not always know what will come next, but I dream of sharing my gifts with the world.”

Currently, Paris is writing new music working with Los Angeles-based Eric Johnson at NIMusicGroup.

“My journey is in God’s hands,” said Paris, who also ambitions as an actor.
