WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA- Stephen Sanchez, the captivating talent from Nashville, truly shone on Day 1. His debut EP, “What Was, Not Now,” released in October 2021, garnered attention, but it was his September single, “Until I Found You,” that made a splash, clinching No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and an impressive No. 14 on the UK Singles Chart.
In this era, platforms like TikTok often unveil hidden stars, and for Stephen, it did just that. His soulful rendition of Cage the Elephant’s “Cigarette Daydreams” in June 2020 became the springboard for his burgeoning fame. Fast-tracking to today, he boasts over 122,000 loyal TikTok followers. His meteoric rise piqued the interest of Republic Records, sealing a deal and asserting that Sanchez’s allure was set to transcend digital boundaries.
Despite his youth, Sanchez’s stage prowess rivals that of seasoned musicians. His voice, warm as a glowing jukebox, combined with his adept guitar skills, paints vivid stories of love and yearning. An ageless charm surrounds him, with fleeting moments echoing the legendary Elvis Presley during his performance.
The crowd’s resonance was palpable when Lily Meola joined him for their duet “Until I Found You.” The chorus from the audience rivaled the very speakers beside me in richness and fervor.
Sanchez is a burgeoning talent radiating immense potential. Embracing this classic, timeless artistry will undoubtedly be his forte; it suits him impeccably.
