Only 18 years old and already making waves, Stephen Sanchez is a NoCal singer-songwriter who’s gone from singing in his bedroom to taking big stages by storm.

After releasing the single “Lady by the Sea” and having it blow up on TikTok, Sanchez got a record deal from Republic Records and has centered himself in Nashville to record his debut EP.

But while he takes a break from recording, Stephen also maintains a stellar performance schedule that makes a stop at the phenomenal DC9 nightclub.

Catch this rising star at a show that’ll go down as one of Stephen’s brightest and earliest pop-star moments.
