Longer:
After being featured on American Idol and receiving a golden ticket to Hollywood, Stephen (NOT STEVEN) Sylvester is on the fast track to becoming the next great new country artist and songwriter.
With an undeniable talent for lyrics and melodies, Stephen writes songs that paint vivid pictures of life in coastal Alabama. From relatable childhood memories to the heartache of losing a loved one, every song he writes makes you feel like you already know the words. Many of these stories come directly from personal experiences, like his wife's cancer diagnosis, attending the funeral of one of his young students, or extended hospital stays with his own children. All eventually become lyrics that can draw emotion from the hardest hearts, and there is rarely a dry eye in the room when Stephen plays his original songs.
Something is different about this artist. Whenever Stephen plays, the energy in the room changes. It's positive and hopeful, leaving you with a sense that you are witnessing an important event. None of this makes Stephen seem cocky or arrogant - he looks just as comfortable belting high notes with his eyes closed as he does interacting with fans after the show. Talking to his old friends in coastal Alabama confirms that he has always been this way, treating his music as a mission rather than a job. It's not an act - it's just who he is.
