Parson James is a singer, songwriter, and performer whose genre-blending sound and deeply emotional storytelling have positioned him as one of the most distinctive voices in modern pop and dance music. Best known for co-writing and performing on Kygo’s multi-platinum hit “Stole The Show,” which has surpassed 1 billion streams globally, Parson has spent the last decade captivating audiences across streaming platforms, global charts, and stadium stages.

Born in South Carolina and now based between Nashville and London, Parson’s music is rooted in contrast, soul and euphoria, gospel and EDM, struggle and resilience. His perspective as a queer, biracial artist raised in the conservative South has shaped a narrative that is as emotionally powerful as it is culturally important.

Following his breakout with “Stole The Show,” Parson has toured the world alongside Kygo and collaborated with a range of top-tier artists including Sam Feldt, The Knocks, Vandelux, Said the Sky, Audien, CAZZETTE, Hook N Sling, Big Gigantic, and others. His solo releases, including the Temple EP (RCA), “Only You,” “Little Fires,” and “Right Now,” reflect an evolving voice that pairs cinematic vocals with bold, genre-spanning production.

In 2025, Parson James signed with Tileyard Records, the London-based label that is part of Tileyard, Europe’s largest creative community for music, tech, and the arts. Known for housing artists and collaborators such as Sigala, Joel Corry, Ella Eyre, and countless hit songwriters, Tileyard provides an immersive, artist-first ecosystem that will support the next chapter of Parson’s artistry, with his first release on the label, "Water Me," slated for late 2025. The partnership is poised to elevate his reach while maintaining his emotional core.

Parson James continues to break barriers, onstage, in the studio, and through his outspoken advocacy for mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, and authenticity in music. With over a billion streams and a new era on the horizon, he’s not just telling his story, he’s rewriting the rules.

Grammy Nominated Artist and Songwriter JUSTIN JESSO has over 2 billion streams for his collaborations, most notably with Norwegian dance producer Kygo (co-writing and featuring on their global smash “Stargazing”). 

Justin released his debut EP “Let it Be Me,” landing many top 5 charting European radio records, including single “Getting Closer” (a top 5 radio record in Europe) and "As Far As Feelings Go," with Alle Farben, peaking at #3 on German Radio charts. 

Justin’s 2022 two part EP, “Finding the Opposite of Loneliness,” has amassed over 100M+ streams and is jam-packed with his soulful vocals, pop sensibility, and stadium-sized energy. Justin takes listeners on a sonic and emotional ride - navigating depression, anxiety, relationships, and his sense of self. He wants his music to be a force for healing and self-discovery, as writing the music has helped him identify his path to happiness.

As a writer, Justin co-wrote and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for the No.1 smash "Vente Pa' Ca" (Ricky Martin, Maluma) as well as writing singles for up and comers like AJ Mitchell, HRVY, K-pop acts like Shinee and Red Velvet, and seasoned veteran acts like the Backstreet Boys, Armin Van Buren, Madcon, Aloe Blacc, Steve Aoki, MAX and many more. 

He has also created music for film and tv. Select records include: “Beautiful World," a duet with Michael Bolton, and "Sound of Freedom" the end-title song for the Angel Studios feature film “Sound Of Freedom,” which achieved United States box office opening weekend gross #1 in July 2023, and aims to spread awareness and help end child trafficking. 

Justin’s recent releases include DJ collaborations with artists Offenbach, Kygo, and Sam Feldt as he prepares to release new solo music. His latest single “Unreasonable” was released on July 18th, 2025.
