Who is Stephen?

Hi, I'm Stephen.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my website!
I love making music just for the pure joy of it.
And I hope you enjoy music just for the sake of music too.
It's awesome!
What a gift from God, just to experience all the glorious emotions that music can evoke or amplify.
Music declares the glory of God.
Even in instrumental music, without any words, the wide array of emotions that can be similarly experienced by all the listeners by combining various vibrations and rhythms is really incredible.
Music is a strong apologetic for the existence, goodness and glory of our Creator.
And I'm grateful to have part in creating (or rather discovering) music!
I started playing guitar at 12.
Started a garage band with my friends at 14 or 15.
And when I become a Christian at 19 years old, I immediately began writing songs about God, my experience as a new Christian and the Bible.
I recorded a very basic acoustic album at 20 years old called "Free Man's Song".
Listening to it now makes me cringe a little 😄
Then I recorded Battle to Do in 2014.
After getting a really positive response (from a small group of people, granted), I knew I wanted to do more.
I've created very little music over the past 10 years but I have created a business that now allows me to devote more of my time to music.
And I'm excited to share more of it with you!
Blessings,
Stephen
