When Parker McCollum was just 17-years-old, he told his brother how his career was going to go, and it’s gone pretty much according to plan.

“It’s exactly how I dreamed it up and told my older brother that I was gonna do this when I was 17-years-old is exactly how it’s gone. Up until the global pandemic, everything was pretty spot on,” says Parker. “It’s like a movie script or something. I grew up listening to Randy Rogers Band and Randy from the Randy Rogers Band managed me for two years – that was a dream come true. That was kinda the end-all goal for a little while. Man, we made it. But the end-all goal really was to come to Nashville and sign a major record label deal and try to go play country music on the biggest level. So, whether that’ll happen is TBD right now, but exactly how I envisioned it as a teenager – 16-17- years-old – it’s gone identical to that, to that dream. To say I’m lucky and blessed is an understatement.”

Parker is scaling the country charts with his latest single, “To Be Loved By You,” which is the follow-up to his No. 1 “Pretty Heart.” Both are featured on his Hollywood Gold EP, which was released last October.
