Alternative R&B from Desmond Parson

Hailing from Washing D.C., Desmond Parson is a visionary artist who pours every ounce of passion he has into his music. He uses his music as a creative outlet to let him convey his thoughts and feelings in an unaltered and authentic way.

He first became infatuated by music at the age of just four years old when his grandmother would play albums by artists such as Gladys Knight, Teddy Pendergrass and Michael Jackson, however it was the music of Stevie Wonder that ended up stoking a fire inside Desmond that would continue to burn brightly his whole life.

From studying the music and career of Stevie Wonder, Desmond would gain a strong understanding of what it means to be a fully immersed artist in music. Just like his idol, Desmond Parson strives to serve as vocalist, writer, composer, arranger and producer of his own work.

Learning piano at the age of ten, being taught melodies by his uncle, Desmond went on to perform in vocal groups at high school before starting his own band Soulfield Village. Over the years he’s cemented his reputation as a live performer in the DC area, playing at venues such as Takoma Station Tavern, Smith Public Trust and The Kennedy Center as well as sharing the stage with the R&B outfit The Dramatics.

With his own music he infuses a soulful R&B sound full of snapping beats and delightful melodic writing. Having just released his new EP, titled Resolution, he brings us the lead single from the EP with the track “Possibly”.

Offering the very best of his charming alternative R&B sound, with “Possibly” Desmond Parson lays down a grooving vibe. Led by his perfectly smooth vocal work and driven by a peppy beat, “Possibly” showcases Desmond’s knack for crafting infectious modern R&B music wrapped up in a memorable sound.
