About Me

I grew up in a town called Crewe and went to a bad school; = bad grades. Managed to blag my way into an art college outside of the town where i became a first class dropout at Graphic Design. Failed that too which i aint proud of. While i was there though a film called "Juice" came out, about a young kid who's a DJ and aspires to battle his way to the top. I thought "That's what I'm gonna do!". After numerous warehouse jobs I ended up on a checkout in Asda for a year and a half. Then entered the UK DMC championships; came 3rd and 2 weeks later got offered a job to be in a band. Met a double bass player called Sneaky on the first rehearsal day. Toured the band all over the world for a couple of years then started my own with him and a college mate called Chris Drury. We're called Fingathing! I've lived in Manchester for 9 years and love it.Now i'm in a band called the Realdolls too! I'm also workin' on a solo LP as Parkertron.

My Interests

Music is pretty much my life. Escapism - Video Games. Films. Hip Hop culture. Yoga. Kung Fu flicks, Manga/Anime. Chillin' with my girl. Gettin' blitzed and chillin' with my friends.

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to have met Bruce Lee, just because he's had a massive impact on my life. It's strange that alot of people i'd like to have met are dead. Frank Zappa, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Andre the Giant, Hawk from Legion of Doom haha. I'd like to meet MF Doom :) Other than that just meetin' everyday people is cool.

Music:

I'm in a band called Fingathing. I'm in a band called the Realdolls. If you go listen to a bit of that you'll hear my influences. Any sound in general can possibly be quite influential if heard at the right time, not just music. I grew up with Hip Hop and ROCK!!! I'm workin' on a solo LP right now and will change this page to a music one when the time is right. I used to be Peter Parker, I'm now Parkertron :)

Enter the Dragon, Dirty Harry,Dawn of the Dead, Commando, Akira, Fist of the North Star, Juice,Ichi the Killer, Godzilla films, Iron Monkey,Escape from New York, Aliens, Matrix, Ninja flicks, good horror, Predator, the Warriors, I really like films and will watch most stuff.
