Parson James Releases a Personal New Track, Little Fires 

Parson James is no stranger to hard times and childhood struggles, translation that music that resonates and makes it relatable to the masses is his super power. The singer/songwriters new single Little Fires gives some insight on James’s struggles with finding himself and his sexuality. The song brings out the emotions of confusion from the transition of childhood into an adult and the spark of ideas that start out as little fires themselves. Fittingly, his mother’s words introduce the emotionally charged and uplifting music video, directed by critically acclaimed songwriter, producer, and multi-media artist Until The Ribbon Breaks (a.k.a. Pete Lawrie Winfield).

Little Fires is a song that I wish I was able to hear as a kid. I have not been shy in sharing the struggles of my upbringing and I find it important to take any opportunity I can to speak to the experience in case there is someone like me who needs to hear it. Little Fires truly is a song about shame, fear, self-love & acceptance. I have been through so much as an adult… addiction, depression, doubt, mistrust etc. but through therapy the common theme that kept happening is the reconnection with the inner child. When I think of myself as a kid, regardless of the chaos that was around me, I was full of joy. I was eccentric. Boundless. I thought about how impressionable we are as children... we have these bright lights innately that society or the world tries to extinguish. Most of the time we want to fit in so we make ourselves smaller to survive. I know that was my experience, and I have to imagine there are so many others who share the same experience. This song is a reminder that no opinion on you will be unanimous. we owe it to ourselves to shine the way that we were born to. Youth suicides are on the rise and I hate to know that. We need to support, love and uplift our youth because the future lies with them.

Photographer & Writer

My love for concert photography came from my scrolling on tumblr in my high school years, growing more after attending Warped Tour in 2012. Earning my associates degree in the arts from Cochise College in 2017, I started hunting for my next goal. I began my photojournalism journey in 2019 after working for my local newspaper taking shots of anyone and anything. I have a background of short documentaries, video interviewing and editorial shots. My friends tell me I have a plethora of band/music knowledge that I now hope to put to good use.
