Paris
Branch
Parris Branch was
born and raised in the
Philly/South Jersey area.
Parris has been DJ'ing for 30
years and doing Latin music
for the past 10 years.
His interest in Latin music
began when he first heard Tito
Nieve's rendition of "I'll
Always Love You" and Cheo
Feliciano's "Half Crazy" for
the first time. Since
then, he became hooked on
Latin music.
Parris started making
tapes for friends in New York
when a friend from New Jersey
heard one of the tapes and
encouraged him to audition at
a new club called MoHorns that
had just opened-up and had
several different DJ's.
At MoHorns he worked
with Latin personality Nito
Prado of Radio Tropical who
was working at Philly's Aztec
Club, the hottest club at the
time. Both personalities
took Paris under their wings
and helped him develop his
craft. From their on,
Parris has worked in many area
night clubs in Camden, Cherry
Hill, NJ, and Philadelphia,
PA, such as Rocco DePersia's
"Shark Salsa Productions"
dances at the New Jersey State
Aquarium, The Harbour League
Club, A Nice Little Bar, The
Cotton Club, Holmes Lounge,
Casa Blanca, Top Dog, Mohorns,
Salseros International Dance
Company, Club Salsa, The Buck
Hotel, and La Esmeralda - as
well as performing at
weddings, private parties, and
family events.
Parris loves
listening to and playing Latin
music for Salsa dancers and
dancing to the rhythms of
Salsa. In addition he
plays oldies, Jazz, and rhythm
and blues, and listens to
classical music.

Biographical
Information I was born right
here in Philadelphia back in
April of 1970. I was raised
right in North Philadelphia.
Music has been in my soul from
the beginning. Having a friend
that was a DJ, I began to
pester him to let go to some
parties with him to just
watch. Fascinated by the crowd
reaction, I began to ask more
questions, go to more "gigs",
and carry more sound
equipment. Then I became an
honorary member of the group.
As time went on the guys
became older and all of the
responsibility of maintaining
a hobby-like business became
too overwhelming for them. I
became more proficient at my
unique way of selecting just
the right song at just the
right time. People started to
notice me and the style of
music I was playing. I
started to "gig" every week at
friend's weddings, birthday
parties and thank God the rest
is history and everyday we
make more ……

Interests Spending quality
