Kill Paradise, reigning from Denver, Colorado, is the dancepop solo project of Nick Cocozzella. He created this project in October of 2003. He has released two albums independently. His first, Pictures, can be bought on iTunes. He released his second album, The Effect, on January 20 2008.
Cocozzella was part of The Autobiography, but has parted ways with them for unknown reasons. Spending time away from his old band, he has created two other side projects besides Kill Paradise: The Midas Well and The Broadway.
The Midas Well consists of Nick Cocozzella and Aaron Rothe, who has been good friends with Cocozzella for a long time. The sound of their side project can be considered similiar to that of Kill Paradise: dancepop. In Rothe’s time away from writing music for The Midas Well, he is also a key element in the post-hardcore band Drop Dead, Gorgeous, serving as keyboards and backing vocals.
The Broadway is Cocozzella’s other project that he formed with a friend named Kyle. They have a hip-hop and R&B sound, which is very different from Cocozzella’s other side projects.
Cocozella has a new partner in his music creation for Kill Paradise, his name is Bryce Hoops.
Kill Paradise has a MySpace page and a Purevolume page, both of which occasionally have songs up for the fans to download. Tour dates are posted on both sites and are updated frequently.
