Raised in Stouffville, Ontario Canada, Parsons resides in Toronto.

As Human Kebab, Parsons hosts and DJ's two alternative rock radio remix shows. The first, SubSONiC, began in 2013 in Edmonton, Alberta on CHDI-FM (SONiC 102.9), followed by Rock Paper Mixers on KXRN-LP in Laguna Beach, California three years later.[7][8]

Peaking at #27 in Canada's Alternative Rock chart in April 2013, the song "Weird Science" by Toronto-based electro-rock band Most Non Heinous was cowritten by Parsons.[11]

In the summer of 2012, Kebab was featured on the track "Livin' Tonight" by fellow Canadian modern rock act illScarlett.[12]

Parsons provided some production work to Elise LeGrow on her song "Weed and Wine". He also performed some drum programming duties for Suzie McNeil on her 2012 album Dear Love (2012).[13]
