A powerful voice, wrapped in a sensual empathy. Parker Matthew’s sound represents a new generation of pop music. Deeply soulful, the lyrics of his new EP, Ain’t No Regular Love, connect with an audience desperately searching for hope and comfort in a fraught modern world. 

Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with a difficult childhood plagued by depression and abuse, Matthews found solace in music. He went on to become a classically trained musician but followed his parents’ desire to go to business school and get a job. So he did. But it didn’t take long for music to whisper his name. He quit his job and booked a one-way ticket to LA to launch his career as a pop artist. He hasn’t looked back. 

The intrinsic belief he has in himself to follow his dreams is a strong theme for brand Parker Matthews, as he explains; “I’m not your boy next door and I don’t sing about easy themes. I firmly believe that self-belief is the most important ingredient you need if you want to succeed in life. But it is one of the most difficult states to achieve - especially if you are faced with adversity. I want my music to inspire and connect with people. To share the message that there is always hope and you can find and believe in your true self, no matter the circumstances.

A highly empathetic artist, Parker Matthew’s deeply vulnerable sound is reflective of his desire to bring people together and connect on a higher level. “I love making people feel good through music. My hope is that people leave my concerts feeling better about themselves than when they arrived - because there is always light despite the darkness that exists.”
