The band Who Parked The Car arose from the IMEP music school in Paris, a partner of the Berklee College of Music.

The young musicians coming from France and Latin America (Argentina, Honduras), are trained jazz musicians, but above all groove lovers.

They took their first steps in 2020 during a series of fiery jam sessions in the artistic squat Jardin Denfert in Paris, and since then, have kept performing regularly throughout different Parisian venues.

The live experience, as important as it is for any rhythm-based group, is integral in WPTC’s identity. So much is the case that in their debut album, their song carrying the band’s name as a title, was written to be played live in a game of question and answer with the audience.

WPTC is more than just a jam band that has worked through their arrangements. They skilfully mix genres, from jazz to funk, including soul and electro. Their unique sound is a clever mix of vocals, sax, synths, guitars and percussions.
