Spotlight: Stephen Sanchez

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome Platinum-Certified, Nashville-based singer and songwriter Stephen Sanchez to the Museum’s Rooftop for an intimate conversation about Stephen’s latest music, creative process, musical influences, rising career, and more, followed by a performance. Attendees will also have an opportunity to enjoy rooftop views and a cash bar prior to the program.  

With a dusty baritone as bright as an eternally lit jukebox and tattooed fingers around the fretboard of a rare guitar, Stephen Sanchez tunes into longing and love with the acuity of a tried-and-tested troubadour—yet he’s only 20-years-old. Transcending eras, he writes the kind of songs that can play just as well from your parent’s vintage record player as they could from the main stages of festivals a la Bonnaroo. If somebody told you he just pulled up from the fifties in a gorgeous Caddy, you’d have a hard time disputing it. 

As the story goes, he initially stirred up early buzz with his very first upload “Lady By The Sea,” going viral on social media and establishing rapport with audiences. Not long after, his original breakout “Until I Found You” properly introduced a spirited signature style. Anchored by a dreamy croon and breezy guitar wrapped in silky harmonies, it tallied over 1.5 billion total streams between the original, piano version, and duet with gold-certified pop singer and songwriter Em Beihold. Meanwhile, it cracked the Top 25 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart as his monthly listenership on Spotify exploded to the tune of 33 million, enshrining him as “one of the Top 100 most-listened to artists on Spotify.” 

He also delivered jaw-dropping renditions of “Until I Found You” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers and a performance with Beihold on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Finding his way into the hearts of countless fans worldwide, he continued to captivate with his 2022 EP Easy On My Eyes [Mercury Records/Republic Records] and much more plotted for 2023 and beyond, beginning with the critically acclaimed “Evangeline.” Piling up 10 million-plus streams within a month, Billboard hailed it as “sounding entirely timeless” and Consequence proclaimed ““Evangeline” feels like dusting off a beloved record and giving it a spin.” Fans and critics were blown away by Stephen’s electric performance of the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 

At the same time, he sold out all of his spring 2023 North American headline tour dates and announced a second headline run in the fall, increasing excitement for his forthcoming debut album, set to be released this year.
