Paradigm creates anthems for the subconscious. The music flits in and out of genres and moods: at times heavy and driving, sometimes funky and joyous, and other times drifting in dreamy sonic explorations. It is ambient, yet harmonically complex, with powerful themes that propel the music ever forward. Paradigm constructs memorable melodies that haunt the mind for days on end, providing a soundtrack to the movie that is life.

The members of Paradigm originally came together while studying jazz at the University of Louisville, and wowed audiences from the get-go, quickly establishing a loyal local following. Since then, the group has taken its act on the road, gaining fans across the country, as well as performing at major music festivals and sharing intimate double-bills with a wealth of recognized talent, such as the Benevento/Russo Duo, Charlie Hunter, and the Lee Boys, among others. Individual members of Paradigm have performed with an assortment of musicians from a wide range of genres, including: jazz trumpet legend Clark Terry, Paquito D’Rivera, Keller Williams, Delfeayo Marsalis, Vince Welnick, Andy Narell, and members of Garaj Mahal.

Jazz is the common ground, yet the members of Paradigm, each of whom is constantly in demand for freelance work and various other musical projects, all bring a unique accent to the group's collective voice. Paradigm blends modern jazz exploration with the raw power and sonic possibilities of indie rock, with some prog tendencies thrown in for good measure. The sound has been called a dance-oriented blend of progressive jazz and art rock.
