Matthew Parker won a Capital Kings remix contest for remixing a track by Capital Kings.

After releasing several singles, his second studio album, Adventure, was released in October 2016 and featured artists such as Twilight Meadow and Rapture Ruckus. The album received positive response from fans when it was released.

Early life

Parker was born as Matthew Henry Parker,[1] on March 9, 1994,[2] whose hometown is Jonesville, Michigan,[3] where he was raised with his younger brothers Noah and Luke, and five other siblings including a sister.[4] His music endeavor started in 2006, when he was just twelve years old.[3][5] He learned his craft through experimenting with GarageBand, while he would eventually outgrow its capabilities, spurring him onwards to learning more about his craft on Christian electronic dance music.[5][6]

Music career

His first album, Meet Your Maker, was not released until January 15, 2013, independently by himself.[7] This caught the attention of Dröm Records, where on September 30, 2014, they released his first studio album, Shadowlands.[8][9][10][11][12]

In 2017, he partnered with Chris Howland to release the debut single "I'll remember this", which reached over 1 million plays on Spotify. The following year, Parker released his sixth studio album, Daydreamer, on October 26, and had discussed it beforehand when he released the first single from it earlier.[13] Daydreamer features artists Holly Starr, Austin Lanier and Landry Cantrell.

Starting in as early as 2017, but officially launching in 2021, Parker created a musical group called Young Pop Renegades. The group has released a full-length album titled Young Pop Renegades 2021: Origins releasing in 2021, with a secondary album releasing on the 19th of May, 2023. Alongside the official albums, Parker has released dozens of collaborations with other members of the group.

Side projects

Matthew Parker has several lesser-known projects that he outputs music to. This is most likely due to the influence Adam Young of Owl City had on him (Parker participated in Young's remix contest for his 2018 album Cinematic). Young has numerous side projects, such as Sky Sailing, Port Blue, Color Therapy, and more. Similarly, Parker has released music under the moniker Twilight Meadow (only one full-length album to date), Huckleberry Blue (covers), and Patthew Marker.
