Paragon Cause

Paragon Cause is an Ottawa-based indie electronic duo composed of Jay Bonaparte and Michelle Opthof, known for their moody, synth-driven sound that blends darkwave, post-punk, and dream pop. Since forming in 2018, the pair has carved out a niche with tracks like "Autopilot" and "What We Started," delivering atmospheric beats paired with Opthof's haunting vocals and Bonaparte's gritty production. Their music often explores themes of disconnection and existential reflection, evident in recent releases like "Disconnected" and "Lost Cause."

The duo has gained recognition for their dynamic live performances and collaborations, including remixes like the pulsing "Jupiter Mix" of "Think I'm Going Crazy Over You." With a growing catalog that includes the introspective "Separate Lives" and the hypnotic "Lies Between Us (Extended)," Paragon Cause continues to evolve their signature blend of retro synth textures and modern electronic edge. They’ve become a standout act in Canada’s alt-electronic scene, earning nods from outlets like CBC Music and touring across North America and Europe.
