President and CEO Tyler Bacon announced that Abe Parker has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Position Music. The artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist took social media by storm with several viral songs including his breakthrough singles “Butterflies,” “Empty House,” and “Stupid Face,” which have garnered over 150 million streams between them in just over one year.
Prior to his explosive debut in 2022, Parker got his start in music through years of busking on street corners, performing in cafes, and working with hip-hop artists in his adopted home of Atlanta. After his independent release “it is what it is” hit over 15 million Spotify streams in a few months, he signed with 10K Projects. As a writer and a producer, he has recently collaborated with David Kushner, Paul Russell, Oak Felder, HAYD, Marc E. Bassy, Lecrae, Hulvey, Brent Morgan, Crowder, Social Club Misfits, and more.
“Position has already outshone every other pub company I’ve been with! I love their work ethic, family vibe, and commitment to writers! Joe has been so, so great to work with! So excited for what the future brings!” says Parker.
Parker is managed by Jordan Tanner of Reynolds Management.
“Position felt like home from the day that we met the team,” says Tanner. “Abe is a one-of-a-kind talent and Joe was able to see that and understand the vision early on. We couldn't be more thrilled to have partners that truly care about not only the music but the people behind it.”
Parker joins a Position music publishing roster that includes Tinashe, Cannons, Audien, Jack LaFrantz, ¿Téo?, Austin Powerz, Brandyn Burnette, Dru “Falconry” DeCaro, Evalyn, Joe Kearns, John “Feldy” Feldman, Judah & the Lion, Krupa, KANNER, No Love For The Middle Child, Erik Ron, and more.
"Through his writing, producing, mixing, and performing, Abe has a God-given gift to make you ‘feel'. I’ve been a fan since before my time in A&R, so I jumped at the opportunity to work with him along with manager Jordan Tanner of Reynolds Management. Aside from his unquestionable talent, his gentle and kind personality paired with unparalleled work ethic and laser focus makes him a pleasure to work with,” says Joe Brooks, A&R at Position Music.
