Finding Her Own Voice
Through all of this, Paris never stopped creating. She pursued music, modeling, and acting, not to live up to her father’s name, but to find her own . She signed with IMG Models in 2017, walked in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Haute Couture show, and appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone .
But it’s her music that seems to be her truest expression. She released her debut album, Wilted, in 2020—a project she wrote during her first year of sobriety . She described the experience as feeling like a baby, learning how to live again without numbing herself .
She’s been working on her second album, co-written with ’90s hit maker Linda Perry, and has described finding her own musical voice as a “beautiful experience” . She’s also been touring with Queens of the Stone Age and opening for them, sharing her music on her own terms .
Being a Jackson
Paris has always maintained a complicated relationship with her family’s legacy. She has defended her father against abuse allegations and has been involved in legal battles over his estate . But she has also made it clear that she wants to be known for who she is, not just who her father was .
In 2025, she received $65 million from her father’s estate after raising concerns about its management . But she has also said that she doesn’t measure her worth by money or fame. When asked how she wants to be remembered, she responded: “I would like to be remembered by my loved ones as a person who was of service” .
