English songwriter, musician, record producer and audio engineer Alan Parsons established the rock band Alan Parsons Project with Eric Woolfson in 1975. Parsons had met Woolfson the year before and the two started working together before long. The Alan Parsons Project remained active on the rock music scene for 15 years until Parsons and Woolfson went their separate ways in 1990 and the Alan Parsons Project officially disbanded.

After the end of APP, Parsons continued to record and release music both under his own name as well as in collaboration with other musicians. He and his band, now known as Alan Parsons Live Project, have regularly toured and given live performances around the world. Book your Alan Parsons Live Project tickets.

When Parsons and Woolfson parted ways in 1990, an 11^th album release was in the pipeline but it didn’t come to fruition. Woolfson later released this as a solo album under his own name. On the other hand, Parsons has carved a successful solo career for himself after 1990. Collaborations with other artists have also been a regular occurrence.

In addition, Parsons has toured and performed live around the world since 1999 with his current band Alan Parsons Live Project featuring P.J. Olsson on lead vocals, Jeff Kollman and Dan Tracey on the guitar, Tom Brooks on the keyboard, Guy Erez on the bass guitar, and Todd Cooper on the saxophone. Parsons himself takes up the keyboard and rhythm guitar while also performing as a vocalist from time to time.

He released his first solo album Try Anything Once in 1993. It featured David Pack from Ambrosia on vocals and Chris Thompson from Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Try Anything Once had a somewhat different sound to what APP normally came out with on its albums. It combined elements from rock and mood-oriented beats while some signature APP elements were still prominent.

The different studio albums released by Parsons since 1990 have done quite well, particularly in the United States. He has been nominated multiple times at the Grammy Awards in various categories and continues to work as a sound engineer, record producer, and executive producer.
