Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, artist and songwriter Parker Bata (pka PmBata) always had an ear for music. Raised by two band directors, the Midwest native was introduced to music at an extremely early age. PmBata listened primarily to the jazz and the radio until he discovered artists like Mac Miller, Chance the Rapper, and Childish Gambino. These influences inspired him to learn how to rap and produce beats.

Jumping many years into the future, past many failures and small accomplishments, Pm has gained a following and garnered millions of streams across multiple platforms. His most popular song “Nobody Came to My Party” has over one million streams on Spotify. This track landed him the attention of LiveTwoCreate, a popular Tik Tok account that prides itself in discovering and breaking new undiscovered artists. This connection led him to being invited into the ANA Freshman Class with artists such as David Hugo and Chri$tian Gates. PmBata’s personal Tik Tok has attained over 200k followers

404 Collective eventually caught wind of Bata and added him to their roster of artists. He now song writes, records, and produces music alongside artists Rozei, 404vincent, Lil Story, and LocateEmilio. PmBata also works with 5x Grammy award-winning producer and song-writer, Brian Kennedy, whose musical catalogue includes collaborations with Lady Gaga, Chris Brown, Rihanna, the Rascal Flatts, and Kelly Clarkson, to name a few.

Pm’s latest song “I Can Pretend” was recently released on the BangersOnly Album and is expected to be his biggest song yet. As for future tracks, he has a couple exclusives lined up with internet music cultivator Promoting Sounds and collaberations with Rozei, Cal Scrubby, Thekidszn, LocateEmilio, and Big K Mula.
