Parker McCollum is enjoying watching his debut single, “Pretty Heart,” close in on the Top 15 on the country charts, not only because it validates him as an artist and songwriter, but it's also proof to his parents that he didn't make the wrong career decision.
Parker tells us: “It’s honestly really truly just humbling, I think, to look on the charts and know that, I’ll send a screenshot to my parents, my mom and my dad, and I’ll be like, ‘Look how well it’s doing so quickly.’ And I think for them that’s really cool ’cause when I didn’t go to college trying to play country music, I think they lost a little bit of sleep some of those nights wondering where the hell I was and what I was doing. And so I think it kinda puts their mind at ease a little bit to know that maybe I wasn’t crazy for trying to do this.”
Parker is currently putting the finishing touches on his debut major label album.
