Hanson was born in May of 1979 in the South Bronx. These New Yorkers are men of the streets, intimately familiar with its codes and its violence, but still, Parker and Hanson are incredibly intelligent and deliberate men.

Both were born into the notorious New York drug dyansty during the early '80s. Parker & Hanson both lost close friends at early ages. They were raised without mothers and fathers, as both their parents were found dead in different situation under mysterious circumstances before they could hit their teens. Parker & Hanson met on a cold November morning in 1993 at Leake and Watts Orphan House in NYC.

The orphaned youths had to learn the hard facts of life at an early age. Through good times and bad times Parker & Hanson stuck together and became their own small family at the Orphan House. Unfortunately, both orphaned youths got caught up in peer pressure and the harsh urban street life of NYC. Their lives needed a miracle to live beyond 23 years old.

Finally, these two young men received their miracle. Music was the answer for their survival. They began to work on the hip-hop scene in New York City and Philadelphia, DJ-ing at local clubs and university parties making a good living.

In July of 1998, Hanson was stabbed 3 times, including a cut to the back, in a nightclub in the Bronx, New York. Hanson spent the next few months in recovery while Parker continued to DJ and take care of his older brother Hanson. While recovering, Hanson suggested to Parker that they should move to Philadelphia and set up their own production company. On Parker's 19th birthday, PArker & Hanson decided to go for it and move to Philadelphia and set up their very own productions company, called Home Run Productions.

More so than any other thing in their lives, PArker & Hanson were motivated to make music because it was the only way they could survive. Their dedication and hard work made Parker & Hanson disciples of music. Industry insiders and the underground media largely credit PArker & HAnson with the return of excitement to the world of dance music, with their release, "Let Me Be", on Maelstrom Records UK.

It's Not Too Late
Parker & Hanson Lyrics

The one you want is spoken for, when wishes turn to sand
There is no cure for wanting more. All the wicked hold your hand
Passing fancies, better deals, no open doors

All of a sudden you see, you can...
Throw your heart on the table

You never know 'til its too late
When you've opened up and failed
Your heart's been played

You never know 'til its too late

The walk away is for the best when weak from obsession
And driven blind by tasteless tests. Weeks in hope for possession
There's no excuse for foolish youth and lustful weakness

All of a sudden you see, you stand to...
Lose your heart at the table

You never know 'til its too late
When you've opened up and failed
Your heart's been played
Taking leaps of faith, well
You never know 'til its too late

What could be done better than the love interest?
How often might you find me faithful but listless?
A series of sullen seconds with wide eyes insincere
How many thousands of moments?
All whispers are wasted in fear

All of a sudden you see, you can...
Throw your heart on the table
In the heat believing a fable

You never know 'til its too late
When you've opened up and failed
Your heart's been played
Taking leaps of faith
And you've been betrayed, well
You never know 'til its too late
You never know 'til its too late
