About

Theo Parrish (born 1972, Washington D.C.) is an American DJ, producer and founder of the Detroit-based Sound Signature label. Raised in Chicago on a diet of Miles Davis and Nina Simone, he studied sound sculpture at the Kansas City Art Institute before becoming a pivotal figure in Detroit's underground from the mid-1990s onwards. His marathon DJ sets - spanning deep house, jazz, funk and raw electronics - have made him one of the most uncompromising voices in global club culture.
