Warner Music Nashville Signs Drew Parker
Warner Music Nashville announced the signing of rising country singer Drew Parker.
Already an accomplished songwriter, Parker has several major publishing credits to his name including “Lonely One” on Luke Combs’ debut Platinum record This One’s For You, Jake Owen’s No. 1 single “Homemade,” and Combs’ “1, 2 Many” and recent streaming hit “Forever After All.”
Parker’s “While You’re Gone” has quickly become a fan favorite, garnering over 15 million streams to date, and has already gained industry support as a SiriusXM The Highway’s Highway Find. He also recently landing on SiriusXM’s Future Five For 2021 list. Parker joined the first three weeks of Combs’ What You See Is What You Get tour alongside Ashley McBryde last year, with the remaining dates anticipated to resume in August.
“I’ve dreamed for nearly my whole life of signing a record deal, but even in my dreams, I never imagined I’d be able to work with a team as devoted and driven as the folks at Warner are,” said Parker. “I’m super thankful for them seeing something in me and giving this opportunity to a small town Georgia boy. I can’t wait to get back on the road and share this excitement with all of the fans who I miss so much!”
Hailing from the small town of Covington, Georgia, Parker began singing at just three years old for small church crowds. He picked up a guitar at age 14 and taught himself, pulling his inspiration from legends such as Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt and Alan Jackson. At 18, Parker expanded his talents into piano. He relocated to Nashville in 2015, landing a publishing deal with River House / Warner Chappell just two years later in September 2017.
Parker is published by River House Artists/Sony ATV, managed by Jarrod Holley and Chris Kappy from MakeWake Artists, and is booked by Sam Forbert from CAA.
