Steven and Parker: Dinos Are Forever!

Parker James is a social media creator, storyteller, writer and musician who has amassed a combined audience of over 17 million aggregate and 7.1 billion lifetime views of his comedic sketch Youtube series featuring the adventures of his hilarious family-friendly characters StEvEn and Parker. A chance discovery of a face-filter on Snapchat gave birth to his future comedic character StEvEn, eventually spawning his Youtube series and his debut novel StEvEn and Parker. Diagnosed with a learning disability (Dyslexia and ADHD), Parker faced significant challenges in school. StEvEn's curious personality and unique pronunciations like "boo-tiful" and "veebo," and playful language--stems directly from Parker's perspective as someone who sees and processes words differently. Parker has built a community through his Dino Club, where followers of all ages--from kids to grandparents--connect over humor, inclusivity, and shared love for dinosaurs, cookies, and chicken Dino nuggets. Parker was born in Orange County, California, but is now based in Texas.
