Masud Parker was born and raised in Cape Town, a city at the most southern tip of Africa, which boasts some of the most spectacular and easily accessible natural beauty in the world.
He called it home for many years, and it nurtured his love for the natural world.
He relocated to the United Kingdom where he now lives with his family in a village in the south of Manchester, not too far from the picturesque Peak District.
With an insatiable appetite to try new things, Masud has a vast array of interests that challenge him both mentally and physically.
In 2009, he released a music album titled 'Revolution of the Mind'. His love for poetry, rhythms and rhymes led him down a path to publish children's picture books. He is currently working on other books that reflect this passion.
