“Complex, cinematic music that builds intricate landscapes of sound…
Compelling… Intoxicating… an unusual delight.”

“Absolutely Dazzling.”
“Songs Without A Purpose is one of the most beautiful records ever made….his music brims with such beauty, elegance and bountifulness that it is impossible not to look at him as a poetic and musical genius. Yes, he is that good.”
“I wondered where this music had been all my life.”
“Beautifully orchestrated.”
“Johnny Parry vaults his way from being just another singer-songwriter to something more akin to the UK’s equivalent of Sufjan Stevens, an artist with a distinctive musical vision”

“Genius.”
“I feel so fortunate to know Johnny. As an arranger, he is technically brilliant, but more importantly, Johnny has a very rare gift in his ability to attune so beautifully to the specific needs and musical landscape of any particular artist. My own music would be so much poorer without the unique world that Johnny has created around it. And the same is true for all of the other artists that I have produced, together with Johnny’s arrangements. The fact that he is able engineer and record to such a high quality is his own studio is an added gift.”
“Johnny’s string arrangements are fantastic. Coupled with his amazing team of players I highly recommended.”
“Working with Johnny on my song way exceeded my expectations. I was so happy with the composition and the recordings. The whole process was effortless and exciting. The music he makes is exquisite and will elevate any project.”
