Artist Profile:


                                              "Love of the music 
should be the driving force of any producer,
                                              performer or dj. 
Everything else stems from that core, that love.
                                              With that love, sampling 
can become a method of tasteful assembly,
                                              collage, as opposed to a 
creative crutch, plagiarism. Using this same
                                              understanding openly & 
respectfully, can turn djing into spiritual
                                              participation. It can 
turn a few hours of selection into essential
                                              history, Necessary 
listening through movement." This personal
                                              philosophy gives shape 
and direction to the distinctive sounds that
                                              are created by Theo Parrish.

                                              Theo Parrish was born in 
Washington D.C. in 1972 and raised in
                                              Chicago, IL where his 
passion for music developed. Miles Davis,
                                              Stevie Wonder, Jimi 
Hendrix, Nina Simone, George Gershwin, Bob
                                              Marley, as well as his 
uncle, jazz musician Dexter Sims, all had
                                              strong influences on 
Theo's early musical life. Chicago's radio influences and dance 
artists such as Ron
                                              Hardy, Larry Heard, Lil 
Louis, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Gene Hunt, Mike Dunn, Frankie 
Knuckles, Walter
                                              Get Down Brown and Andre 
Hatchett, helped to spawn Mr. Parrish's early career. He began 
spinning
                                              and producing tracks in 
1986, at the age of thirteen...

                                              After graduating from 
the Academy for the Arts, he received a scholarship to the Kansas 
City Art
                                              Institute where his 
interest in music was taken to a new level through his study of 
sculpture. In 1994,
                                              he received a Bachelor 
of Fine Arts degree from KCAI with a concentration in Sound 
Sculpture, a form
                                              of orchestration using 
live instruments, looped recordings, the human voice, and numerous 
other
                                              sound generation 
devices. While in Kansas City, Theo continued to impact and be 
impacted by dance
                                              music, helping to bring 
a dormant underground music scene to life.

                                              In 1994, Theo Parrish 
moved to Michigan where he became heavily in Detroit's underground 
music
                                              scene. Since his 
arrival, he has helped spawn a resurgence of dance classic selections 
among local Dj
                                              talents. An original 
resident of "Better Days', Theo's sound has been called everything 
from spiritual to
                                              infectious. 
Unfortunately, the commercialization of 'Better Days' authored it's 
disappearance. Following
                                              several dates with 
independent promoters, he gave an exceptional evening of soulful 
selections at the
                                              infamous Detroit 
Electronic Music Festival. Later, Theo started his own night, 
"Sessions" at The Rhythm
                                              Cafe. Finding the night 
to offer more stress than musical bliss, Theo has returned to the 
comforts of
                                              the studio. You can find 
his sounds being charted by dj's in Germany, London. Japan. Italy, 
France,
                                              Australia, Canada, 
Africa and numerous cities throughout North America. Producing music 
and
                                              delivering his unique 
and dynamic sets in venues throughout the Detroit and surrounding 
areas, as
                                              well as abroad he has 
gained the attention and respect of dj's, producers, listeners and 
dancers
                                              worldwide.
