About Me

Originally hailing from both Newark and Piscataway, New Jersey, DJ Parallax first paid his dues serving as a crate boy for a local group of deejays known as the East Orange United Syndicate. He developed a keen ear for music of all genres while traveling with the group. He also picked up a working knowledge of theory and composition while performing classical and jazz music with local school bands. Eventually he became a deejay with the Syndicate. While a member of the Syndicate, he co-founded another DJ group called Maximum Respect Entertainment and Imperial Productions after that.
After a hiatus, Parallax relocated the base of his operations to Atlanta, Georgia where he continued to add to his DJ resume. He is currently serving double duty as the official DJ for New York-based Citi Confidential as well as a contributing editor-at-large. He was also most recently featured with the group of deejays receiving daily rotation on Wax 42, the 24-Hour Mixtape, on Sirius Satellite Radio.
When asked about his moniker, he responds passionately, Parallax is an angular shift in focus. You know when you go the eye doctor and he makes you look at the letters on the wall with one eye open- with the other covered- then you switch eyes? Thats called parallax. In essence, the DJ must create the momentum and keep the crowds focus. I make the crowd focus and take notice and then shift with me. It gives the audience an interesting alternative from what other DJs try to do.
