PARKER MATTHEWS
A vibrant performer and an outspoken member of the LGBTQ+ community, Parker Matthews is firmly committed to using his platform to inspire and uplift audiences in their time of need. And Parker’s platform is rapidly growing. Since bursting onto the scene in 2017, he has solidified himself as one of pop culture’s next big things - a title that seems more inevitable with every new release.

After relying on his unwavering love of music to overcome his difficult upbringing in Pittsburgh, Parker embraced the opportunity to study music in college. And although he briefly flirted with a traditional business career, the allure of the music world proved irresistible. Parker bought a one way ticket to LA and never looked back.
His first major breakthrough came with the massively popular viral single ‘Layover,’ which was viewed on TikTok 1.8M times. Its mixture of thought provoking lyrics and seductive, emotionally compelling melodies was a hit with fans and critics alike, with LA Weekly praising its "unique style and sound.” Since then, he has been on a creative hot streak, earning favorable comparisons to the likes of Sam Smith and Lady Gaga - iconoclastic artists who are as renowned for their activism as their songs.
Now that he is on the brink of stardom, Parker is as committed to his values as ever. His earnest to desire to be a beacon of hope in frightening times has made him a revelation to a new generation of pop fans.
