Stephen Stanley
Singer/songwriter Stephen Stanley makes music with immediate emotional impact, revealing a depth of talent that comes from years of devotion to his craft. At the age of nine, the Mansfield, Georgia-based artist learned to play his mother’s guitar after suffering an accident that rendered him deaf in his left ear, and quickly uncovered an innate musicality and remarkable gift for melody. By age 13, he’d added piano and drums to his repertoire, in addition to writing songs and leading worship at the church where his father served as a pastor. Over the last decade, Stanley has honed a distinct and dynamic voice as a musician, bringing both raw emotion and a profound sense of purpose to everything he creates.

Jake & Shelby
When Jake & Shelby first burst onto the scene , the duo brightened the pop landscape with a revelatory breath of fresh air. As shown on high-streaming singles like “Girl I’ll Be Tomorrow” and “You and Me,” they possess a power to command the audience with the simplest of arrangements, casting spells with their heart-melting harmonies and nuanced guitar work.
As kids growing up, they each took lessons at Cedarstone School of Music where, within a couple of years, they linked up to write songs and post acoustic covers on social media. Before long, Jake & Shelby had amassed an adoring fanbase and earned the admiration of pop-culture icons like Michael Bublé and the Kardashians. The duo eventually landed a deal with EMPIRE through a joint venture with Cedarstone Entertainment and released their debut EP Just Us in January 2024, a perfect intro to their finespun form of organic pop.
For their new music (debut album out in 2025), they chose to broaden their sonic palette while doubling down on the soul-baring quality of their lyrics, and worked with producers like Josh Ronen (Kelly Clarkson, Erin Kinsey) and Micah Tawlks (COIN, The Brook & the Bluff). “Control,” the first glimpse into Jake & Shelby’s new era, helped set the tone for that heightened emotional truth and expansive sonic direction. The follow-up single “Chasing Ghosts” presents a hypnotic meditation on memory and self-sabotage, building to a brooding grandeur at its wildly frenetic bridge.
