Parker Matthews Making Waves

Parker Matthews is an empathetic, bold voice in self-determination and tenacity. From a young age, Parker was compelled to learn the difficult skill of standing up for himself and use his voice. Overcoming an abusive home environment in small town Wexford, PA, Parker relocated to Los Angeles to begin to explore his own identity in the way he always knew best: through his voice. In his debut EP No Regular Love, Parker explores past relationships to come to the realization that “I am enough,” after a childhood of being told he was not and would never be. With performances at Seattle, Denver, and Pittsburgh Pride festivals, as well as at NYFW, Parker received high praise for the EP from the likes of American Songwriter and AXS, and was even featured on Spirinity Live. He has since exploded onto the LA scene as both an artist and a songwriter in his own right. Recent collaborators include Myah Marie (Britney Spears, Avicii, RuPaul), Danny Solano (Selena Gomez, Chris Brown, Megan Thee Stallion), Michael Blum (Lily Williams, Kiran + Nivi, Wesley Stromberg), and many more. Channeling singer-songwriters with lush, soaring vocals such as Ariana Grande, Lewis Capaldi, and Sam Smith, Parker is excited to share new single about being a placeholder, Layover: https://ffm.to/layover, as featured on Apple Music’s “Heartache” official playlist!
