Like many artists, the innovative Parsons faced many obstacles when entering the arts and entertainment industry. Moving from a small town to a big city, he struggled to make ends meet while nightly chasing his band’s hopes and dreams.

He regards earning recognition in American music circles as the pinnacle of success, akin to winning a gold medal at the Olympics. Alongside his musical ambitions, Parsons harbors a desire to pursue a career as a voice-over artist, lending his distinctive voice to movie trailers, as well as campaigns for television, radio, and web-based consumer brands throughout the English-speaking world.
