Parker Matthews

A force of nature in pop music and a fearless voice for the LGBTQ+ community, Parker Matthews is redefining what it means to be an artist in today’s world — blending heart, humanity, and undeniable star power. Since stepping onto the scene in 2017, Parker has proven that his mission extends far beyond the stage: he’s not just creating music; he’s building a movement — one that reminds people everywhere that they are seen, heard, and never alone.

Born with an unshakable passion for music, Parker turned to songwriting as a refuge during a turbulent childhood in Pittsburgh. In music, he found what the world often withheld — understanding, belonging, hope. That same spirit pulses through every track he creates, forging a deep bond with listeners across the United States, Germany, Brazil, and beyond.

After studying music in college and briefly flirting with a traditional business path, Parker followed his true calling, buying a one-way ticket to Los Angeles. It was a leap of faith that paid off: his breakthrough viral hit “Layover” exploded with 1.8 million views on TikTok, captivating fans and critics alike with its blend of provocative lyricism and addictive emotional pull. LA Weekly hailed his sound as “unique” and “magnetic,” cementing his place as one of pop’s most exciting new voices.

Since then, Parker has continued his meteoric rise, drawing comparisons to icons like Sam Smith and Lady Gaga — artists whose music and activism are equally powerful. Every release from Parker is more than a song; it’s a lifeline, an anthem for anyone who’s ever needed a best friend when the world felt too heavy.

Today, as he stands on the brink of global stardom, Parker Matthews remains true to the heart that brought him here. His music isn’t just a soundtrack — it’s a safe place. A reminder that no matter how dark the world gets, there’s always a light waiting for you. And sometimes, that light comes in the form of a song... and a friend who refuses to let you fall.
