JOHN PARENTI

Check out the conversation I had with John Parenti, a Southern California based record producer, composer and arranger. From his beginnings as a drummer, to him having a HUGE hit in the Contemporary Christian Music market, and to when he recorded Kelly Ripa for an A & P commercial, John is incredibly passionate about every piece of music he creates. What a great guy and stellar musician. Take a listen.

John Parenti is a Southern California based record producer, composer and arranger. His first instrument and obsession were the drums and to this day, still considers himself a drummer first. He believes in songs with great melodies and is a champion for a well crafted lyric. You can count three #1 songs and six Top 10 Hits in the CCM market on his writing credentials. The most noteworthy was a national #1 hit for 13 solid weeks and is currently the longest running number one airplay hit in CCM history. He has produced over 70 artists involving every genre of music and has enjoyed many successes scoring original music for picture on network movies and advertising campaigns over the last 18 years.

Today his interests are in producing and collaborating with select singer songwriters who inspire him. He keeps a small roster of talent focusing complete attention to the artist and their craft with the sole purpose of making music that is impeccable, thoughtful and memorable. www.ParentiMusic.com
