Biography

Marco & Jack grew up in Salerno and were surrounded by music from childhood. Their father was a professional world-touring keyboard player and music shop owner who introduced the brothers to music through multi-instrument jams in their living room. These jams formed some of their earliest memories and greatly influenced their later lives as musicians, encouraging them to incorporate different genres, instruments, and the latest technology into their music to create a distinctive fusion of sounds.

The brothers are key collaborators of London-based high-tech music technology company ROLI as product specialists. Their virtuosic skills as instrumentalists came to the attention of the company CEO Roland Lamb in 2016, and he describes meeting Parisi as "one of the most important landmarks for me in the history of this whole project". [4] They have since performed a number of demos of new ROLI products, most notably the company's trademark MIDI-controller, the Seaboard. [5] They have employed ROLI instruments in their production and co-production work, [6] including on Ed Sheeran's album No.6 Collaborations Project.

Career

PARISI's earliest prominent release was their 2016 single 'No Refuge' featuring RZA. [7] [8] [9] The single was a response to the ongoing refugee crisis, with all proceeds going to UN Refugee Agency. Following this release began a period of regular co-production and songwriting work that has seen them work with a wide range of artists including Will.i.am, TY1, Clementino, Marracash, Black Eyed Peas and Jackson Penn.

In 2019, the duo began an ongoing working relationship with Fred Again, resulting in a co-production credit on Ed Sheeran's Afterglow, as well as co-productions and co-writes on Fred Again's albums Actual Life 2 (February 2 – October 15 2021) [10] [ unreliable source? ], and Actual Life 3 (January 1 - September 9 2022). [11] The latter album won the award for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 2024 Grammys, [12] the duo's first Grammys success.

The duo are writing with Fred Gibson, Johnny McDaid, [13] Paul Harris, Alma, Eyelar, Johnny Orlando, [14] Josh Record and Tom Misch. They have co-writing and/or co-production credits on upcoming releases from Fred Again, Elderbrook, [15] Valencia Grace, Mae Muller and Tiësto.[ citation needed ]

Having signed their artist project to FFRR in a global joint venture with Major Recordings [16] [17] (Warner Records US), 2023 saw PARISI release the club record ‘U OK?’ in collaboration with Sebastian Ingrosso & Steve Angello (from Swedish House Mafia) on 31 March. Their debut single "Believe in Myself" was chosen by Danny Howard as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record in November 2023.
