What comes after Nirvana and the Pixies? For a 14-year-old kid living on Lake Erie—D’Angelo's
"Voodoo", apparently.
While that album became the Sgt. Pepper of the neo-soul movement, it also served as the watershed
moment for the Akron-born/Columbus-based Parker Louis, who started putting his stamp on the musical world around the time his hero sat back down at the keyboard.
Fresh off an undergrad degree from Capital University (Columbus, Ohio), Louis stitched his self-taught
chops with flashes of soul and rock & roll, cutting his teeth on a handful of independent nationwide tours
before writing and releasing his breakout solo effort ‘All Good Things’ (SoulStep, 2019).
In 2020 he introduced himself globally via A COLORS SHOW with the release of 'Rise' and “Say Less”
— two captivating live performances on one of music’s biggest digital stages.
In 2022 Louis leapt into the future with his sophomore effort, ‘Lifted’, a thoughtful blend of proto-R&B that
sounds aged yet timely. The EP is about age, though. Less than the number but more an examination of
time passed; of growth and space.
In late 2022, Parker officially joined forces with indie-giant Secretly Canadian, signing a publishing deal
that evolves his already unique position as artist/producer/musical-auteur even further.
Louis’ once heavier guitar-driven anthems have matured into a silkier R&B, still bolstered by a voice
capable of asserting a character beyond its years.
