On Monday, February 8th, the talented young artist will be making his late night television debut, performing his single "Temple" on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Joining him for this very special debut performance will be New York City's very own LGBT Lavender Light Choir. Formed in 1985, the Lavender Light Choir prides itself on the dedication in keeping the black gospel music tradition alive in an environment supportive to LGBT community. As part of this community, 24-year-old Parson wanted his debut to be as meaningful to others as it is special to him, he explains "I wanted to make sure that my debut performance came with a message and is a celebration of diversity and acceptance. I am so honored to have such an incredible group of people from the LGBT community join me onstage for this moment."

To celebrate the release of The Temple EP and announcement of his upcoming last night television performance, Parson James premiered a very special, live acoustic performance video of his song "Stole The Show" on NYLON.com.

Parson James' original version of "Stole The Show" has now garnered more than 6 million streams on Spotify, on top of an impressive 320 million streams of the Kygo rendition of the same track (which also features Parson). Earlier this month, Parson James played to a sold out crowd at Brooklyn's Barclay Center with the Norwegian DJ.
