Parrish Smith is a Dutch DJ, music producer, singer, and visual artist of Surinamese, Chinese, and Indian descent. Born in Nieuwegein, he launched his international career before expanding further in Amsterdam.
Known for his intense, genre-defying sound, Smith blends punk, rock, techno, and experimental music, challenging elitist techno norms. His mantra—"No Elitism, No Prejudices, No Genres, No Codes"—reflects his punk mentality and fearless artistic approach.
Starting as a DJ in Amsterdam’s underground scene, he gained recognition for his emotional, high-energy sets, performing at festivals like Dekmantel and Lowlands and international events such as Villette Sonique. His music, deeply influenced by his Surinamese roots and a search for identity, draws from punk, industrial, and Detroit techno.
Smith has collaborated with icons like Richie Hawtin, remixed artists like Sevdaliza and Grimes, and reinterpreted industrial pioneers like Ramleh to techno Icons Tommy Four Seven and Hector Oaks. His work extends to institutions like FOAM x Ai WeiWei, the Wereldmuseum, and EYE Filmmuseum, cementing his status as a visionary artist across multiple disciplines.
