In the past two years he successfully executed starring  roles as “Joseph” in the  holiday theatrical tale, “A Gift of Love” starring veteran  actress and Academy Award nominee Ruby Dee, held down a lead role opposite  R&B  songstress, Keke Wyatt, in the musical stage production, “When Love Ain’t Enough”  and wowed audiences in 2013 as the co-star in  the musical “Rebirth” which also  featured acclaimed actress, Lynn Whitfield.

As a proud parent and supporter of charitable causes, Q has lent his name, time and  resources to the Alzheimer’s Association of Georgia  and the Cub Scouts of America  to name a few. In 2015, Q launched the Q Parker Legacy Foundation whose mission  is to strengthen and  empower young and old men of various socioeconomic statuses  within the areas health, wealth, spiritual, fatherhood and social aspects.  Programs  presented by the foundation include Brothers United of Atlanta Men’s Group,  Brothers United Youth Mentoring Program,  Brothers United Youth Summer Camp  and DoMENate Men’s Conference. Alongside his wife Sharlinda Parker, the couple  founded  Couples United with a mission to promote family, spirituality and marriage.

IN October 2012, Q released his critically acclaimed solo debut entitled  Q PARKER: THE MANual,  through a joint venture between NeWFAM Entertainment  and Malaco Records in October 2012. The album which is a great blend of  classic  and contemporary R&B was lauded by iTunes as “one of the best R&B albums of  2012.” The first two singles from the album, “Show  You How” and “YES” each  reached Top 15 status at Urban Adult Contemporary radio. His current album set to  release in the Fall  of 2018 is an inspirational one chronicling his life’s experiences  since entering the entertainment industry with the hopes of inspiring and  uplifting  men across the world. Q also served as a co-producer on the Black Nativity  Soundtrack.

Q can be seen regularly traveling worldwide touring nationally and internationally  with his group, 112. His commitment to community  enrichment and youth  charitable organizations is never ending.
