Биография

Born in South Carolina to a 16-year-old white mother and black father, Parson James stared down unspeakable trials and tribulations since birth. Crumbling family structure, drug addiction around him, religious hypocrisy, poverty in the American South, and systemic homophobia left him with PTSD, which he didn’t realize until 2020. In the meantime, he went from tirelessly performing under the radar to worldwide renown when he wrote, sang, and joined forces with Kygo for the ubiquitous smash “Stole The Show.” It yielded over 1 billion streams, reached multiplatinum status stateside, and picked up platinum certifications in 15 territories. Parson notably introduced his solo artistry on the acclaimed The Temple EP. He powered numerous anthems for a myriad of friends and peers. He joined forces with JoJo for “Dirty Laundry” in 2021. On its heels, he linked up with VINCINT and Qveen Herby for “Kill My Heart.” Speaking of impactful collaborations, he and Ryan Lewis [Macklemore & Ryan Lewis] co-wrote “Bigger” for influential indigenous artist Stan Walker. At the heart of an upcoming EP and album, Parson is healing, and it’s a heaven-shaking sound. “When you listen to me, I hope you say, ‘That’s exactly how I felt’,” he leaves off. “There are a lot of emotions in the music from happiness to sadness to complete despair. I’m all about being a ball of light and positivity. The biggest change for me in 2022 is being able to look at Parson James and realizes he is a beautiful human being.”
