A Maestro's Melody Desmond Parsons and the Rhythms That Shaped Him

Spit 2 Da Beat Podcast

Send us a Text Message.

Feel the heartbeat of a musician's life with Desmond Parsons as he sits at our virtual table, reminiscing about the rhythm that started it all on a coffee table back in Washington DC. Get swept away by tales of a boy, now a maestro, whose world spun in harmonies laid down by legends like Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire, and discover how these icons fueled his fire from the classroom to the main stage. Desmond's narrative not only charts a course through his professional achievements but also cues into the melodies that score his everyday life — a private concert that we all have access to, if only we stop to listen.
As we sync our rhythms to Desmond's beat, join me in revisiting the magic of musical collaboration, where separate notes on a scale find unity in an R&B groove. I'll take you on a journey through my own melodic blend of R&B and neo-soul, all while the Fender Rhodes piano casts its timeless spell. Together, we'll relive the thrill of creating a UK chart-topper with the incomparable Anna during a virtual songwriting session that proves distance is no barrier to a hit. And for the grand finale, witness how my band, Soul Fire Village, sets the Washington DC music scene ablaze, crafting a community with every note played and every word sung, honoring the greats that walked before us from Stevie to Jill Scott.
