Dj Nocturna Interview With Parabola West AKA Amy Tucker West

Drawing inspiration from Celtic, Nordic folk and electronica, Parabola West is the artist persona of New Zealand-based American singer and songwriter Amy Tucker West. Originally from Springfield, MA, Amy began songwriting on piano as a teenager and, at age 21, she was recruited into London-based trip-hop band Dreamfield. With two critically acclaimed releases to their credit before splitting in 2003, West relocated to New Zealand, taking a 10-year break from music to work in IT and engineering recruitment, returning to her musical roots in 2013 under the moniker Parabola West.  

This is the soundtrack of Middle-Earth, mixed in with elements of Loreena McKennitt and female-fronted synth pop / indietronica. Living completely off-grid in an eco-home up a misty mountain, Parabola West is entirely self and fan-funded as a 100% independent artist with no label affiliation.  

Parabola West released her debut ‘Did You Hear?’ EP in 2014, followed by her ‘Purity of Weakness’ EP in 2017. More recently, she also released “Stars Will Light The Way,” a 13-track LP, all recorded at the healing frequency of 432Hz.
