Matthew “Slim da Reazon” Parham is a Los Angeles based voice actor, photographer, poet, and musician. His interest in literature, spoken word, rock, hip-hop, and jazz blend to become a language and lifestyle Parham calls AfroGrungeTM. Duality, double consciousness, and the alternative Black American experience are themes Parham explores across multiple genre-blending performance mediums. Visually, this edgy style is replicated behind his lens through a photographic portrait approach, which relies heavily on chiaroscuro, darkness and light, black and white, and often focuses on Black American subjects or like-minded creatives. Parham is also a sought-after voice actor, nominated for a ‘22 Society of Voice Art and Sciences Award, the ‘24 VOA Unicorn Award, two ‘24 One Voice Awards and three ‘25 One Voice Awards, with a client list including Marvel, Amazon, ESPN, MTV, MGM, Netflix, PBS, and Disney.

Matthew is notably the Director of Operations for the National Association of Voice Actors (NAVA), where his advocacy includes lobbying on Capitol Hill, corporate negotiation, and
national panel appearances, while also serving as Community Liaison with the South Los Angeles arts gallery Range Gallery. Since 2017, Parham has been the MC in a 15-piece jazz hip-hop ensemble called The Urban Renewal Project, with whom he has toured nationally in hundreds of shows. When he’s not serving the voiceover community with NAVA, voicing projects, performing poetry, or making music, Matthew is finalizing a photography certificate at UCLA.
