In 1996, while participating in a project aimed at teaching Italian children to sing in English, she was discovered by a representative of EMI's Italian division, and began her career as a recording artist. Her initial single, Look at Us, did not hit the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, despite its great amount of airplay in 2001. Soon afterward, she released her debut album, Paris*Sarina. She is currently signed with Capitol Records.

During the period when Look At Us was receiving much radio airplay (March/April 2001), most listeners did not know whether the artist's name was Sabrina Paris or Sarina Paris. Since she had not been very well-known in America in 2001, many DJs announced her name as Sabrina.

Sarina toured with LaToya Jackson in various parts of Hawaii in May 2004. Although her website has been replaced by a lawyer's website, Sarina is indeed alive, though her music career is on hold, as is her movie, television show, and album production. Although Sarina did release a new song several years ago entitled, You Are My Valentine which was featured on her website, the song is currently only available on EuroBeats Vol.3. No new songs or album was released after her song.

Paris' singing voice has an odd quality that many listeners and reviewers have noted, to the effect that she often sounds as though her voice is synthesized, even when it is not.

True Colors
Sarina Paris Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

So sad eyes
Discouraged now
Realize

When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors, true colors

'cause there's a shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful.
