Funksoul with a purpose. Lyrics for your mind and Music for your soul. Welcome to the world of Paramedic. The debut album received a warm reception from critics and their live shows have left a lasting impression from coast to coast. With a coveted showcase at the 2006 North by Northeast festival in Toronto, a 2006 Western Canadian Music Award nomination and a busy touring schedule, Paramedic is an exciting new voice in soul music.

Paramedic is: -singer/instrumentalist Jesse Peters (known to Canadian jazz fans as the singer/writer/pianist of the critically acclaimed Peters Drury Trio) .

Jesse tours with Travis Switzer(bass) and Graeme Peters(drums)

If only hip-hop had a few more groups like Paramedic, the scene would surely be a lot healthier."-Thomas Quinlan, Exclaim

"Smooth, smart, soulful. Rapper/singer Jesse Peters and his group, Paramedic, will resuscitate your interest in hip-hop with their funky, jazzy self-titled full-length."-Sandra Sperounes, Edmonton Journal

"Jesse understands himself as standing firmly within the hip-hop tradition and rightly so. His lyrical gift of gab, smooth flows, and politically charged battle raps would surely be envied by even the most established hip-hop veteran"-Luke Mcphee, Prairie Mosaic

"Style: Think Rage Against The Machine meets St. Germain"-Danielle Tollin, Medicine Hat News
