Formation and All We Know Is Falling (20022005) In 2002, at the age of 13, vocalist Hayley Williams moved from her hometown Meridan, Mississippi to Franklin, Tennessee USA where she met brothers Josh and Zac Farro while attending private school.Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. Prior to forming Paramore, however, Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis took part in a funk cover band called the Factory, while the Farro brothers had practiced together after school. The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been edgy about the whole female thing of having Williams as vocalist, but, because they were really good friends, she started writing for them and it eventually worked out. The band was officially formed by Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Zac Farro (drums), Jeremy Davis (bass) and Hayley Williams (lead vocals) in 2003, with the later addition of Williams neighbor Jason Bynum (rhythm guitar).
