Parker McCollum is not a bad guy, but you wouldn’t know that from listening to the lyrics in his music.
“When I was 24, I was probably not the best guy in the world to date, but at 28, it’s probably a little safer,” he says.“I think I really enjoy writing songs from that perspective,” he says. “And I’m sure I’m overdoing it at this point and need to find something else to write about, but I’m always trying to perfect that and I’m waiting for the perfect song to explain that emotion. So as long as it’s working, I’ll probably still do it.
Even so, he’s humbled by his newfound status. Although he learned last week that he had lost the ACM newcomer award to Jimmie Allen, he was gracious in defeat. “He and I have never met — we’ve talked a bit on social media, but he seems like just a normal, cool guy. And so deserving of that award.” “It’s a great feeling to work hard and see it pay off, no matter how that may show its face. I’m just really grateful that anything is happening at all, especially with being at home all the time,” he says.
Although he does enjoy being on stage, he’s perhaps more connected to songwriting. With that, he follows in the footsteps of his older brother Tyler who he describes as “a super talented songwriter. He’s the reason I know songwriting at all. He could have been an ice skater — I just wanted to do what big brother was doing. But luckily he was a songwriter. He’s writing his own album now and putting out his second full length in a couple of months.
