About Carl Parker

Carl is an experienced music industry executive and Asia-file having spent over 30 years in the region bridging the east/west markets.He began his career as a club DJ, spent some time as a radio DJ and journalist before trying his hand at running nightclubs, before finally joining the record industry first with PolyGram, then Universal and finally EMI, and later leaving to spend time to develop his own Asian based label - ToCo Music.Carl enjoys bringing people together. Growing up in the UK his love of music led him to become a mobile DJ at the age of 19. DJs were a very rare commodity back then! The ‘80’s would see him frequent the Wild Bunch’s regular Thursday night outings at Bristol’s seminal Dugout Club. Inspired by their eclectic sets Carl was soon a regular DJ himself on Bristol’s burgeoning ‘80’s club scene, a scene that was spawning Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and Soul II Soul (through the Nellee Hooper connection).Relocating to Thailand in the late 80’s with a BA under his belt Carl landed a job as a DJ on 95.5FM Radio Bangkok and as news announcer on Smooth 105 FM, the country’s two leading English language stations in their day. He later went on to write for the Bangkok Post and to join PolyGram/Universal Thailand as a product manager. During these years he booked Paul Oakenfold a number of times along with the UK techno act The Grid through his own local promotion company.In 2000 Carl took up a regional position with Universal Asia in Hong Kong primarily looking after dance. During this period he worked on the Café Del Mar Tour of Asia with Norman Jay and Bruno Guez, toured the Danish drummers Safri Duo through the region and worked on a duet with Bond at the 1st MTV Asia Awards. He also put in a stint with EMI Asia for a while as well. In recent years Carl has booked numerous western artists into Asia such as Benny Benassi, Derrick May, Judge Jules, Soul II Soul, Tiesto, Lil Jon, Paul van Dyk, Sylver, Kaya Jones and Verona. He is currently the Managing Director of ToCo Asia (HK) and General Manager of ToCo International (NL) (www.toco-international.com) as well as finding time to consult for Universal Asia on all things dance and to kite surf when the wind is up.His commitment to both the artists he works with and the region in which he resides shines through his work.
