The roar of his entire middle school, at an all-class assembly, upon hitting the last chord of “Damnit” by Blink 182 set Stephen on his path and he’s never looked back.
“I felt cool for the first time”, Carey added on the defining experience.
Already making waves in Nashville with over 13 million streams and counting, Stephen Carey is one of Rolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know”. Stephen’s songs have been featured on Spotify’s most highly coveted playlists, including New Music Friday and the US Viral 50. Having opened for Thomas Rhett, Jon Pardi, Parmalee, Kip Moore, Morgan Evans, Frankie Ballard, The Cadillac Three, Thompson Square, Lily Rose and many others, Carey is poised to take the next leap in his career. Born and raised in Jacksonville Florida, his formative years were spent honing his talents in all things music as a multi-instrumentalist and singer where WQIK’s John Scott said, “Carey has the chops, the look and the songs to be big time. His catchy, hook-laden tunes are packed into three-minute guitar-driven songs about life and love.” The smooth grit of Stephen’s alluring voice, honest and engaging songwriting, positive “can-do” attitude, and relatable personality continues to make champions and fans out of everyone who discovers him and his music.
"Sounds like: A Florida native's physical (and musical) relocation to Nashville, combining the sounds of his home turf — shoreline swagger, summery pop hooks, the amped-up guitars of Southern rock — with Tennessee mojo."
