The Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, multi platinum recording artist, and six-time ASCAP Award winner, Q Parker formed a partnership between his production/artist development company, NeWFAM Entertainment, and Malaco Records, for the release of his upcoming solo debut album entitled “The MANual” slated for release in Spring/Summer 2012.
“Q Parker is a gifted vocalist and accomplished songwriter whose career I’ve been involved with since the 90’s when his group 112 was signed to Bad Boy/Arista. I am very excited about the great partnership that we’ve formed between Q’s NeWFAM Entertainment brand and Malaco Records.” noted Lionel Ridenour (Director of Malaco Records urban division)
Q Parker recently released his new single “Show You How,” which was written by J.Que Smith and produced by Kendrick Dean who has worked with likes such as, Trey Songz, Joe, Monica, Usher, Mary J. Blige and Chris Brown. “Show You How” was recently one of the most added songs at Urban AC radio and also gaining support at syndicated and satellite outlets including Music Choice and Sirius/XM. A solid debut at #88 on the Top 200 R&B/Soul chart on iTunes, as well as Top 30 placement on radio’s Mediabase and R&R charts. The melodic, uptempo “Show You How” is available via iTunes and can also be purchased at other online retail outlets.
“It’s an amazing feeling to have been in the music business since I was a teenager as part of a hugely successful group like 112, and to now be a grown man making a name for myself as a solo artist in the current R&B climate. Agreeing to a partnership with my NeWFAM Entertainment brand and Malaco Records felt right for me. Lionel Ridenour and Tommy Couch, Jr. of Malaco appreciate the direction of my music, and have shown they are committed to making my album “THE MANual” a long-term success!” Parker added.
