Drew Parker To Pursue Christian Country Artist Career

Country hitmaker Drew Parker has revealed that he will switch lanes sonically to pursue a career as a Christian country artist.

Parker co-wrote the Luke Combs’ hits “Forever After All” and “Doin’ This,” Jake Owen’s “Homemade,” Blake Shelton’s “Stay Country or Die Tryin'” and has had several other major country artist cuts. He is also a Grammy and CMA Award nominee.

“For over a year and a half, I’ve felt a stirring I couldn’t shake; a whisper growing louder,” shared Parker in a video to his fans. “God was trying to get my attention, but I wasn’t ready to listen. Now, after 10 years of chasing country music, I’m stepping out. I’m not hanging up the hat. I’m just trading it in for a new one — a hat for Jesus.”

Parker joined The Church of Eleven22’s Pastor Joby Martin’s Deepen podcast to dive deeper into his decision to switch genres. Parker plans to release the first of his new music within the coming months.
