# Jack Parkinson Interview

Jack Parkinson, from JP Light & Sound, is a local boy who started DJing at house parties before breaking into DJing at clubs. He now owns multiple businesses and has achieved a lot at just 24 years of age.

## What got you into DJing?
A few reasons, the love of music and the pursuit of always wanting the best/newest music to show my friends definitely sparked my interest in DJing. Older influences got me into Virtual DJ and let me use their DJ equipment when I was in school, which led me to purchasing my own set during year 12.

## Do you see Adelaide as a good place for business?
In our situation, it has worked to be quite beneficial due to the fact that we rely heavily on word of mouth. Adelaide is a tight-knit community with very few degrees of separation, which makes networking easier. So, as a business, if you continue to provide a good service and people know what you do, the good word will eventually spread.

## What are your next plans? Is there anything big coming our way next?
We have just finished creating our 'JP Events: Adelaide,' which is a ticket sales website that allows us to sell tickets online for all types of events. Moving forward, we are looking to combine our business service offerings ('JP Light & Sound,' 'JP Event Management,' and 'JP Events: Adelaide') and help organize a whole range of events.
