Short Bio:

​

Stephen Thomas is an artist redefining genre boundaries and commanding attention across the music industry. Hailing from Charleston, West Virginia, and recently named an “Artist to Watch in 2025” by The Source, Stephen is a pioneering voice in what he calls the Universal genre—a blend of sonic influences that continues to evolve with his latest foray into rock and alternative music.

​

His transition into the rock space is already making waves. Stephen’s debut alternative record, “Back Home,” as the video was featured on MTV, and the song is continuing to climb the Active Rock Radio charts into the Top 60 . The single went viral on TikTok with over 500,000 views in just 24 hours, while both “Back Home” and his breakout anthem “Stay Strong”—a heartfelt tribute to military personnel, autoimmune warriors, and those facing mental health challenges—have been featured on major editorial playlists across Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and more.

​

His latest release, “Breaking Hearts,” builds on this momentum, showcasing a raw, emotive sound that reflects his bold artistic reinvention. Comparisons to artists like MGK, Jelly Roll, Carrie Underwood, and Shaboozey speak to his wide-ranging appeal and boundary-pushing creativity.

​

As a national touring artist, Stephen’s resume includes five Grammy Award considerations as an independent act, a #2 spot on the iTunes Charts with “Best Days,” and global exposure through Revolt TV with his video for “Search Me.”  From his early beginnings to signing with SkeeloMusik/Sony RED in 2013 and later finding his artistic home with Creative Hearts Entertainment, Stephen’s journey has been one of constant growth and reinvention.

Beyond the music, Stephen’s story and sound have been spotlighted in MTV, Vibe Magazine, Swagger, Hype Magazine, Earmilk, V13, and The Source, among others. He’s performed alongside iconic names and walked red carpets at major events including the BET Live Experience.

Ten years into his career, Stephen continues to follow the advice that shaped his path: stay true to yourself. It’s a message that drives his music and fuels his mission to inspire the next generation of artists.
