Parker
BIO
Multi-Award winning artist PARKER takes influence from his Gold Coast surroundings and combines surfside-rock with his youthful angst to produce tunes that are sure to get you singing along.
Internationally recognised for his songwriting Parker speaks truth to the rough and raw emotions of youth. Inspired by the 80’s pop scene and a collective of genres, Parker jumps head first into the curious experimentation of various music making platforms. As a sought after up and coming songwriter Parker is found regularly collaborating with producers and writers all over the world lending his ear and creativity to various projects.
At fifteen Parker was discovered by Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, taking mentorship and support from Los Angeles based label MDDN Records which continues to be invaluable whilst establishing himself as a name in the music industry. With new music in the pipeline, Parker is taking giant strides by collecting acknowledgements and awards for his previous releases on a local, state, national and international basis.
