ABOUT Since the release of his breakout debut EP “The Temple” in 2016, multi-platinum Sony International/RCA recording artist Parson James has gone on to garner more than a billion streams worldwide. With hits such as "Stole the Show", a collaboration with Norwegian producer Kygo and his most recent single “Only You,” which features Kupono Aweau (who toured with Madonna on her Rebel Hearts tour) and transfemme musician/actress/ designer/model Neon. Parson continues to be a valued voice and LGBTQ advocate featured in various high profile publications and shows included Hello Mr., Out Magazine, V Magazine, The Today Show, ELLEN and many more. Last Fall, the LBGTQ artist and activist Parson James debuted SugarCube, a uniquely immersive events program. Parson will bring with him a slew of talented friends and the series will include a constantly evolving array of performers and experiences that reflect the diversity of NYC. With more and more queer performance spaces and parties moving to Brooklyn, Parson felt compelled to host a night in the city that would celebrate the LGBTQ community. Parson’s vision was to recreate some of that Studio 54 magic. “I want to provide a safe, fun and frivolous environment to give a little sweetness back to our community”.

"I tried to please people for so long and alter who I was as a person to fit in when in realty all I needed to do was learn to love myself. The message is celebratory and is ultimately depicting a coming to realization of being proud of who you truly are. With casting I wanted to make sure I had a completely diverse cast trans/queer/gay/people of color celebrating who we are as human beings and being absolutely proud of that. The video takes you through a completely dark and lonely place and ends with a complete moment of self love and true pride. Which can apply to any and everyone who has felt the need to change for another person/people.” — PARSON JAMES PRESS ATTITUDE UK "Stole the Show" Singer Parson James on Suffering Racism and Homophobia PAPER MAGAZINE “Parson James Champions Queer Romance VANITY FAIR New York’s New Club Kids Find a Home at Ian Schrager’s Public Hotel TEEN VOGUE Why You need to know Parson James, the artist who comes with Lorde’s seal of approval OUT MAGAZINE Exclusive: Meet Rising LGBT Singer Parson James Parson James on His New Breakup Ballad 'Only You' BILLBOARD Parson James Releases Stunning, Trans-Centric Video for 'Only You' VIDEOS ONLY YOU A SINNER LIKE YOU TEMPLE STOLE THE SHOW STOLE THE SHOW 2015 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE CONCERT THE ELLEN SHOW BOOKING Linda Lewis [email protected] leftofcenterproductions.com office: 856.778.3081 mobile: 609.792.6611 SOCIALS Instagram Twitter Facebook PRESS KIT BY PINKBUTTER CREATIVE .
