Q Parker Biography

Q Parker is an acclaimed R&B singer, songwriter, and producer best known as a founding member of the Grammy Award-winning group 112. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, he began his music journey early, developing his vocal skills and passion for performing. In the mid-90s, he joined 112, a group that quickly became one of the defining acts of R&B, merging smooth harmonies with emotionally charged lyrics. Signed by Sean "Diddy" Combs to Bad Boy Records, 112 released a string of chart-topping hits, including “Cupid,” “Only You,” and “Peaches & Cream,” which helped define the sound of '90s R&B.

With 112, Parker achieved significant commercial and critical success, earning multiple platinum albums and industry accolades. The group won a Grammy for their collaboration on the iconic “I’ll Be Missing You” with Puff Daddy and Faith Evans, which was a tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G. Parker’s rich baritone vocals and talent for blending harmonies were key to 112’s success, establishing him as an influential voice in contemporary R&B. Throughout the group's career, they gained a loyal fan base and are widely respected for their contributions to the genre.

After 112’s initial run, Parker embarked on a successful solo career, exploring new dimensions of his artistry. His debut solo album, The MANual, was released in 2012 and showcased his versatility and depth as a singer-songwriter. The project was well-received, with singles like “Show You How” resonating with audiences for their heartfelt lyrics and Parker’s smooth delivery. As a solo artist, he has continued to drop singles such as "Yes," "Made For," "I Need You," "She's a Diamond," "Silent Night (HUSH) Remix," and 2024's "BEG."

Beyond music, Q Parker is deeply committed to philanthropy and community engagement. He founded The Q Parker Legacy Foundation, which focuses on health, wellness, and youth mentorship and actively supports initiatives promoting physical fitness and emotional well-being. Parker also advocates for healthy relationships and family values, frequently speaking on these topics and providing guidance for young people. His dedication to his craft and his efforts to uplift and empower others have solidified Q Parker’s legacy as both a musical innovator and a positive influence in the community.
