About Steven Thad:

Steven Thad, born Stephen Leslie, Jr., has always been a musical individual. As a kid growing up in the DMV area, he and his sisters, Sierra and Shanté, developed their love for music while accompanying their parents to many choir rehearsals. As a result of their musical upbringing and the support of their dedicated parents, he and his sisters were able to garner success as the Billboard-charting gospel group, Trilogy.

Thad’s solo musical journey began when he left for college in 2014. There he started to develop his own musical identity for the first time. In 2018 he began to shadow Grammy-nominated producer Dana Soréy which helped him gain the confidence to start making his own beats, perfect his sound and release his own albums and EPs of cover tunes. In October 2022 he released his first album with his own original music entitled, “Love R&B” which showcased his love for the genre with tracks like “RNB”, “Do You Remember” and “Goodbye, Farewell”. With the help of Soréy, he released “Love, R&B: Deluxe” that elevated each song to an even higher dimension of musicality.

As Steven Thad continues to evolve and create, all signs are showing that this is just the beginning of an illustrious career for the rising star!
