Stephen Stanley

Stephen Stanley is a Christian singer-songwriter signed to Capitol Christian Music Group, known for music that explores faith and personal struggles from a Christian perspective. He was born on February 12, 1996, and is a native of Georgia. At age nine, a jet ski accident left him deaf in his left ear. During his recovery, he learned to play his mother’s guitar and later added piano and drums to his repertoire.

Stanley grew up in a household rooted in faith, and his father served as a pastor. By age 13, he was writing songs and leading worship at his father’s church. He attended Bible college for two years to improve his songwriting and ensure his lyrics were scripture-based. He signed a record deal with Capitol Christian Music Group in 2020.

His recorded work includes the EP Stephen Stanley (2021), the single “Rest in the Father” (2022), the album Divided Frame of Mind (2023), and the song “Whatever It Takes” (2023). He released the single “gonna have to trust you” in 2024, followed by the album trustfall in 2025. In 2026, he released the single “idols” featuring Colton Dixon and the EP Change.

Stanley’s music often addresses personal struggles, including anxiety and depression, from a Christian perspective. His journey from a childhood accident to leading worship and writing songs reflects a commitment to vulnerability and faith within the Christian music genre.
