On today's show, we chat with Stephen Stanley!

On his album, Trustfall..

“I wrote ‘this far down’ during a time when I felt like I didn’t belong anywhere. I knew it wasn’t true, but the feeling was still there. Rejection is a part of life, and I tried to cope with it through anger—but that’s not a path that leads to life. Trusting God and focusing on what truly matters… that’s what helps me,” shares Stanley.

With 173 million global career artist streams and a rapidly growing digital presence—including over 1 million TikTok followers—Stephen is making a major impact in the music world. His viral hit, Whatever It Takes, has already surpassed 34 million global streams, resonating with audiences everywhere. Stephen’s music has also found a home in major pop culture moments, with placements in the trailer for My Penguin Friend, ABC’s Station 19, and a Golden Buzzer moment on Britain's Got Talent. His ability to connect with fans through both his music and storytelling makes his talent undeniable.
