Parabiners

“Sam Ryder fist bumped me at least four times and Taylor Swift’s brother gave me a guitar pick. It was an eventful night to say the least...”

★ Tanu loves live music, immersive theatre and show production. gigs are her favourite place to be! 

If you get to know me, you will fast realise how much the band Paramore means to me. Their music has inspired my art and expression for years so I wanted to give something back.
Introducing: PARABINERS (paramore carabiners)

I sculpted and painted 12 clay charms that have an individual meaning/association to each band member and the team. Hayley Williams’ stylist Lindsey Hartman replied to my instagram story and asked to meet so I could get them to the band. They put me on the list for The Eras Tour closing night at Wembley Stadium and it was a crazy experience. One of the touring band members Joey Mullen even wore my parabiner onstage. Elke (a musician very closely related to the band) posted herself wearing it on her story. Hayley Williams (lead singer) later posted a photo of her parabiners clipped to her bag she had taken to New York during fashion week. This whole project was so meaningful and I’m so happy it was well received. 

Ah yes, how could I forget. Jonathon Ross watched the whole set behind me and got his rock on to paramore. I also met the talented RAYE and got to congratulate her for her performance. Sam Ryder fist bumped me at least 4 times and Taylor Swift’s brother gave me a guitar pick. It was an eventful night to say the least...
