Paris was born in Rockford, IL. Her mother, Jamecia, and grandmother, famed singer Ann Nesby, were both members of the gospel group Sounds of Blackness. Bennett has lived with her grandmother the past two years in Fayetteville, Georgia, attending Starr’s Mill High School for eleventh and twelfth grades, but is originally from Edina, Minnesota. She attended Edina High School from 2003-2005 for tenth and eleventh grades. She was very active in theater and the performing arts. She played Dorothy, the lead in the school’s production of “The Wiz”. She was also a member of her school’s Danceline and Hip-Hop Dance Club. Paris attended Christian Life School in Rockford for eighth grade.
Her audition in Greensboro, North Carolina initially featured “Cowboy Take Me Away” by The Dixie Chicks. When judge Paula Abdul invited her to sing a second song, she continued with Carmen McRae’s vocal version of Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five.” All three judges, including Simon Cowell, who is often cited as being conservative with his praise, were impressed with Bennett’s talent.
