Glenn Parfitt February 1, 2017
Glenn Parfitt is a third generation Victoria native (picture circa 1983). Growing up in a musical family, Glenn was expected to learn and play a musical instrument along with singing in key. At an early age, it was determined that these skills had skipped a generation as Glenn's musical abilities never developed but his love of music was highly developed. In February of 1977, his journey through the business of music began first as a manager, then agent, promoter, club manager, and a career in radio. During 2000, he suffered a heart attack and once recuperated, decided to create the Royal City Music Project in 2002 as a platform for musicians to showcase their musical accomplishments. He was joined by
Ross Damude,
Ken Sherwood and in 2006,
Nev Gibson of the Indivision Network. In January of 2016 they launched the third website and are currently visited by as many 100,000 unique visitors per month. Glenn currently spends time volunteering for local music organizations like the Victoria Jazz Society and sits on the board of directors of both the Hallmark Heritage Society and the Victoria Blues Society. February celebrates the 15th year of the Royal City Music Project, we hope you can join us for one of our events.
