INTERNATIONAL DJ EXTRAORDINAIRE, MR. TERRENCE PARKER ---
Detroit has been credited as one of the Soul Music capitals of the world, spawning legendary artists like The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross just to name a few. Within the past decade Detroit's Underground Music Movement has brought rise to new artists such as Derrick May, Juan Atkins, Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson and a host of others. But unlike the aforesaid names, Terrence Parker has established himself as a producer, remixer and DJ of the classic sound of House Music, and is known as a pioneer of the Inspirational / Gospel House movement!
As of January 2006, Terrence Parker has performed as a DJ in more than 100 cities throughout the world. Since 1988, he has released more than 100 recordings, and had top 20 hits with his songs "Love's Got Me High", "The Question" and albums like "Detroit After Dark" in the U.K., The Netherlands, Germany, and France. As one of the headliners for the 2004 Detroit Movement Festival (May 2004), TP (along with his friend & Detroit legend DJ Mo Reese) performed a stunning Tagteam DJ set on 4 turntables with 2 live vocalists for a crowd of over 100,000 people. As part of the Detroit Historical Museum's History of Techno International Exhibit, TP's collective musical works and pioneering efforts have been recognized as a valuable contribution to Detroit's music history, as well as the International History Dance Music. This exhibit is currently touring museums throughout the United States.
In 2002, TP did retire from Djing for approximately 1 year in order to make certain that his career in music was in accord with his spiritual direction. But now he is back, Djing and making positive music for all of the world to enjoy. TP's incredible DJing talents can be heard regularly on WJLB FM98's "Club Insomnia" (Detroit's No .. 1 Urban Radio Station). Furthermore, TP produces several DJ mix shows (including The Inspirational House Mix Show), which can be heard on FM, Internet, and Satellite/Digital Radio stations in the UK, BRAZIL, SWITZERLAND, GREECE, GERMANY, FRANCE, TURKEY, NORWAY, and JAPAN. Here in the USA, TP's mixes can be heard regularly on XM Satellite Radio's "The Move" Channel. Terrence is also the music director for E-RadioBiz.com’ “DANCE” channel.
Terrence’s most recent remix projects are currently topping charts and driving dancefloors all over the world. As of November 2005, some of his most recent remix projects include such popular artists as Kanye West, Chris Brown, Christina Aguilera, Shaun Escoffery, Afro-Beat Legend Tony Allen, Ce Ce Winans, Dr. Charles Hayes & The Cosmopolitan Church Of Prayer Choir, Genuwine, Omarion, Amerie, Diana Ross and the Supremes, and The Four Tops. Furthermore, TP has also been busy finishing up his new album entitled "MOMENTUM" featuring vocalists Coco Street, Rebecca Anderson and Darnell Kendricks. TP has also established a new Inspirational House Music label called TPMT Music with long time friend and fellow DJ Maurice Turner (aka DJ Mo Reese).
Terrence Parker is definitely still in the game, and better than ever. Some people call TP the "Telephone Man" because he uses an actual telephone as headphones. We call him the "Telephone Man" because he has answered the CALL to bring us music to feed our souls!
