Shawn Parr:
As a Southern California native, Shawn Parr has had a long-term involvement with country music. He grew up in Norwalk, CA and attended John Glenn High School. Some of Shawn's early jobs included being a waiter at Coco's and Bobby McGee's, as well as a club DJ for a number of years before landing his big radio break in Orange County, where he did Middays and Mornings.

Soon after becoming the warm-up personality for the TV show "Hot Country Nights", and the announcer for the Academy of Country Music Awards, KZLA brought him on board to do the Afternoon Drive which eventually lead him to the helm of the KZLA Morning Show. Shawn Parr has long been considered a major champion of the station and after a brief hiatus from radio, he came back to KZLA in 1999 where you'll currently find him doing Middays and Sunday mornings.

In addition to his work at KZLA, Shawn is on the Board of Directors for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and hosts his own annual golf tournament benefiting the John Tracy Clinic. Shawn has expanded his career to include being the voice of the Golden Globes, the American Music Awards, the California Speedway, numerous television shows and commercials, voice-overs, and much more.

Shawn says his favorite place to hang out is at Balboa Park with his kids, but you can also find him on the golf course. When he's not on the radio, Shawn's favorite way to spend time includes being with his children and engaging in outdoor sports such as fishing, motorcycle racing, baseball, basketball and jet skiing.
He even has an unofficial Shawn Parr Website which contains wonderful photos you simply must see!

We asked Shawn what he would be if he weren't a DJ and he replied, "A professional golfer on the P.G.A. Tour."
