“I’ve been lonely, I’ve been scared, I’ve been trapped inside my head. Oh, I’ve been drinking more than my share, makes it easier looking in the mirror. Your reflection isn’t who you thought and the time is ticking on the clock, but a voice inside is screaming to hold on. Oh, this is my year, I’m saying no to fear. I’m rising up, I’m taking chances again. Ain’t got no money, I got no plan. Oh my god, I’m happy again. Found my voice, found my song, and I remembered who I was. This is my year!” – lyrics

‘This Is My Year’ tells an inspirational tale about a young guy who courageously decides that he will no longer be in bondage to fear. Apparently, this is his year, and he’s determined to bite the bullet and take his shot because he has nothing to lose.

‘This Is My Year’ contains an inspiring narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and a catchy chorus. The likable tune possesses up-tempo instrumentation flavored with a contemporary pop vibration. Furthermore, “This Is My Year” serves as a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear on  Jason Parker’s upcoming debut EP, entitled, “How to Be Lonely.” The five-track project will explore his experiences with loneliness and the lesson of learning to be comfortable in it. Using NZ crowdfunding platform, Boosted, Jason raised over $5500 to help fund the EP.

“I’m rising up, I’m taking chances again.”

“I’m seriously excited to share ‘This Is My Year’ with the world. I wrote it as a secret promise to myself, that things will get better and brighter days are coming – which I think resonates now more than ever. I hope ‘This Is My Year’ inspires people to follow their dreams, or at least dance their demons away for a moment.” – Jason Parker explained

Jason Parker, who has a larger-than-life personality, has pop domination firmly in his sights. The optimistic crooner recently had a mega breakthrough – landing an appearance on Popstars 2021, where he wowed the panel and audience. Shortly after, Jason released his debut single, “You Rescued Me,” and hosted the Wellington music festival, Peachy Keen.

‘You Rescued Me’ caught the attention of rising star and hit-maker, Paige, winning Jason a coveted spot opening for the Wellington leg of her recent tour. Furthermore, Jason has collaborated with acclaimed kiwi artist, Ruby Jones, on the cover art, and drag royalty, Hugo Grrrl, on the soon-to-be-released music video.
