Born and raised in Baltimore Maryland, Parker started life as a very shy kid. "My Mom bought me my first guitar when I was about 10 yrs old. She said she wanted me to be like Elvis. It took several years to actually learn how to play it. I spent my early years listening to 70's pop stars such as The Bay City Rollers, Patridge Family etc. Then I saw Kiss Alive 2 in the department store and that changed it all. No more Teen idol pop. My influences went from BCR to Kiss then the Metal years came in. Iron maiden,
Judas Priest and all the Hair Bands. I learned to play everything I could. Thats why in my cover bands, we can pretty much play anything the audience asks for. I've been able to make a living as a full time musicians for quite a long time which is unheard of around here."
Parker's debut album as a solo artist, Bring Back The Sun, features a sound that is big yet stripped down with infectious melodies and catchy hooks. "When I sat down to write the album Bring Back the Sun, I don't remember really trying to do it, it sort of just came out. I just remember sitting down with an acoustic and strumming some chords and humming a melody. I think the first 2 songs were "Love to Feel The Rain" & "Stop". After that, the songs just kept coming. I woke up in the middle of the night with the Chorus of "Bring Back The Sun". I got up ,wrote it down and grabbed a guitar and finished the rest. Good thing I didn't go back to sleep that night.
