Focused. Talented. Confident….just a few words to describe Ro Parrish.  He has taken the entertainment world by storm with two turntables, a microphone and the ambition to become a master of his art.  In addition to his passion for music, his experiences take him to television and the big screen, making him into one of the industry’s most sought after.

The eldest of two, Ro was raised in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas.  From the moment he first broke his father’s turntables scratching "The Show/Lodi Dodi" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh, he has always considered himself a 'DJ'.  Even before the time he had the money to purchase turntables, he would attempt to "scratch" & “mix” on his dual cassette decks.

“From my childhood years to college, I was always told by my peers I should be a DJ since I always knew what was hot and had more music then anyone, however; I never had the money for equipment.”

While pursuing his degree at the University of North Texas in radio/television and film, Ro’s ideal career to become a movie director was soon overshadowed by another passion for being in front of the camera. During his sophomore year, Ro debuted onto the screen on NTTV as sophomore where he earned the title of Sports Director, while serving as a sports intern for WFAA Channel 8. He prides himself in capitalizing on this experience and setting it as the infrastructure of his networking base.

Realizing his talent and potential, WSAV/NBC presented Ro with the opportunity to work as a sports anchor. This later facilitated further On-Air/Hosting opportunities, such as working with the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys, Black Entertainment Television and Fox Sports Radio.  Currently, you can catch Ro on Fox Sports Southwest where he hosts “Mavs Insider” and as a special correspondent for “Cowboy’s Insider” where he takes the fans of America’s team into “Ro’s Room” every week.

Ro was also an integral part of the Arbitron rated overall number one station in Dallas-Fort Worth, KKDA/K104. There he ascended from a member of the street team to earning his own on-air time slot. His creative abilities made him responsible for an unprecedented annual twenty-week High School Football program. As screaming fans rant, "Its Ro with K104", Parrish never loses sight of his purpose and stays focused. A true jack of many trades, he is positioning himself to be a master of many. He declares himself a teacher of those who listen, and a learner of those willing to teach.

“In my time working at KKDA/K104, I saved some money and decided to purchase some equipment. Dj Steve Nice was instrumental in my development as a mixer”

Since shifting his efforts to full-time nightclub DJ in some of the hottest venues nationwide, he has provided the evening’s soundtrack names such as Lebron James, Nelly, Three-6 Mafia, and Ice Cube. Ro has also handled public and private events for numerous members of the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks.  He has performed along side of and mixed at events with Legendary DJ's Don Cannon, Biz Markie and Kid Capri.  As the Dallas Maverick’s official DJ, Ro welcomes fans to every home game with the hottest music and entertainment.

Parrish serves as an entertainer behind the turntables and in front of the camera, while still making time to mentor young teens and provide them with wise counsel as an active member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. His recent move back from the Big Apple has definitely expanded his observations and heightened his sense of productivity. Print modeling along with acting has been added, further expanding his talents. Look for Ro in the Universal Film 'American Gangsters' starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe where he made his acting debut.

As Parrish continues to dispel all myths of the entertainment industry with tenacity and flawless ambition, it is only a matter of time before we are taking a seat in the front Ro!
