Please come for a rare opportunity to listen to an incredible American hip-hop artist Wordsmith and his band at America House.
Anthony Parker (born 1980), known by his stage name Wordsmith has released five albums over his career, and is a member of the nominating committee for the Grammy Awards as a songwriter. In 2009, he founded the NU Revolution record label. In 2018, he was the recipient of the Independent Music Award for Best Album - Rap or Hip-Hop for his fifth studio album, Perspective Jukebox. As a songwriter, he has licensed his music to television, video games, and other mediums—for organizations such as the WWE, ESPN, NFL, Nintendo, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Television series that have included his music have included Russian Doll, which used his track "Get What You Love".
While touring, Wordsmith travels with a live band. He has made stops in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. He also performs for US service members at military bases overseas. In his home town of Baltimore, he co-organizes music events with the Concert Artists of Baltimore. Wordsmith has also partnered with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, acting as narrator in public performances.
Besides writing music and performing extensively, Anthony is active as an entrepreneur, teacher and philanthropist. Partnerships with The State Department, Baltimore City Hall, Keller Williams Realty, Open Door Baltimore and Project Plase have allowed Wordsmith to fulfill his love for helping the inner city youth and the homeless equally.
After the concert you will have an opportunity to talk to Anthony and his bandmates Maurice and Christopher Carrols, and ask them questions.
