COVER INTERVIEW >  PARISI: A NEW ERA IN EXPRESSIVE DANCE MUSIC





                                                             Alongside this, they continue to grow the aspect of their
                                                             career that puts them in the spotlight. Releasing a steady
                                                             stream of singles both solo and with the likes of Buy Now
                                                             (Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso) and Anyma, they’re
                                                             proving that they’re ready to take over the scene in all
                                                             different aspects.

                                                             In 2024, PARISI are set for one of the biggest breakthrough
                                                             years of their career, with an abundance of high-profile
                                                             collaborations, singles and live shows in the works. Sitting
                                                             down with them, we went through their journey to get to this
                                                             point, and where they’re going from here.

                                                             How did you both get started in music, and what was it
                                                             that initially made you want to create a career out of it?
                                                             MARCO: We started to approach music because of our
                                                             father, who was a piano and organ player, and now he’s
                                                             retired. In our house, we had a lot of instruments which we
                                                             gravitated towards for pure imitation. We saw our father
                                                             playing these instruments and we wanted to do the same.
                                                             Just by doing that every single day, we started to get quite
                                                             good at it.

                                                             JACK: Marco started as a piano player, that was his first
                                                             instrument, and he was able to play melodies when he was
                                                             three years old, copying the records that our father would
                                                             play on vinyl.

                                                             MARCO: That’s the time that I realised that I had perfect
                                                             pitch, which made it easy to find and play the melody on
                                                             the piano.


                                                             JACK: For some reason, which I still don’t know to this day,
                                                             I gravitated more towards drums. My mother and father
                                                             bought me bongos for Christmas. Since then, I’ve never
                                                             stopped playing percussion and drums. I would try to go to
                                                             piano lessons but on the keyboard I would always put in the
                                                             drum sounds. After that, Marco and I played literally every
                                                             day of our lives together, from jazz to blues to rock and
                                                             pop. I started to take drum lessons and Marco took piano
                                                             lessons.

                                                             I think the decision to create a career out of this came
                                                             naturally. We just gravitated towards music.

                                                             MARCO: There was a moment where our father said to us,
                                                             “guys, you’re becoming really good at this and I think that it
                                                             should be your career.” After that it was time to step up, find
                                                             better teachers, and this happened when we were thirteen
                                                             years old.
