Parrish is an accomplished guitarist, songwriter, talent developer and promoter. He has hosted numerous local music events, including the long- running Live at the OTT! at the Old Town Theatre in Alexandria VA.
Vinnie has the ability to partner with a new songwriter and help s/he to progress into a legitimate force on the scene. His poersonality is easy-going and his familiarity with different musical genres serves his clients and music well. In 2006, Parrish worked with Franco- and Congo-American newcomer Edith Sodolo, penning a half dozen songs and helping her to claim the grand prize at the 2007 Capital Star competition.
Parrish began his career as a self-taught guitarist at age 14. Also in his late teens, Vinnie became manager for a local band called Spectrum. In his late twenties, he began to learn other instruments and launched his first solo recording project at Mission Control in Warrenton, VA. "Necessity is the mother of all invention," is a saying that led him to record his first multi-instrumental song, Manic Depressive, inside of 24 hours. He counts over 150 original songs in his performance repertoire. In addition to his musical talents, Parrish is an excellent contractor. He completed much of the construction and detail work at SplashKit's recording studio.
