デトロイトに拠点をおくプロデューサー、DJ。ワシントンDCに生まれ、年少期をシカゴで育つ。またその後カンザスシティー、Kansas City Art InstituteではSound Sculpture(音の彫刻)を専攻。1994年、デトロイトに移住。1997年、レ-ベルSound Signatureを立ち上げ、常に新しい発想と自由な表現で次々に作品を世に送り出す。現在Plastic People(London)にて毎月第一土曜日のレギュラーパーティーをもつ。

“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.”(Theo Parrish)
