Perry Stevens is not your average songwriter. He is a well-rounded artist with a broad creative scope. He has a passion for authentic storytelling, and love to create music with a deeper meaning. He has been a singer for 30 years, and he’s now bringing it all back to the audience! At the end of the day, it was never about genre definitions and other limitations. It’s all about insightful lyrics and powerful songwriting ideas. His songs leave a mark on people and connect with them on a deeper level. Perry Stevens makes songs that will make you cry, laugh, think, and wonder…sometimes all at once! He had a bustling career early on, but at the end of the day, he took a step back from the scene. Based in West Covina, California, Perry has a life-long passion for music. Perry has an eclectic musical background and a vast vocal talent to match it. In fact, he was a professional singer from the early 70s up until the early 80s. He often sang at the Chalon Night Club. In those days, he had many opportunities, but he had other goals. Even when they offered him contracts, he decided to focus on his career in medicine and chemistry. He was also getting married, so his relationship was more important than doing months on the road!To focus on his life, he rejected those offers, but this doesn’t mean that he had turned away from music. That part of him was always there, inspiring him and giving him a reason to be creative and artful.In November 2018, after five years working on his new music, Perry Stevens was finally ready for his latest big break. He released a project titled “Hot Lava,” which was an immediate sensation. The music was received positively, and Perry didn’t only reconnect with his old fans. He managed to make new ones too! However, many of his former fans were eager from new material by Perry, so they actually encouraged

him to focus on being a professional musician once again. He brought back the signature themes and aesthetic of folk-rock, but with so many other influences. In fact, Perry’s sound is hard to pin down because his music is so incredibly diverse and forward-thinking.One of the most distinctive perks of Perry’s music is indeed found in his fondness for stories. Most of his songs are very narrative-driven. Arguably, storytelling is one of the most essential elements of the artist’s approach to songwriting. Perry loves to share his feelings and express powerful ideas with the audience, and he often does so through the voice of the characters he depicts in his songs.Perry sings about love, freedom, hopes, dreams, and heartbreak, sharing many amazing moments with his audience through his timeless songwriting. His brand new songs aren’t just about tracing the steps of folk and rock. His vast range of influences features new wave, ballads, and why not – even rap and R&BA! In addition to that, the production on his recordings is absolutely excellent. His vocals always have some tasteful effects, such as reverb, echo, andsaturation. Vintage records often inspire the sound of his instrumental track. However, it also has a modern edge to it, which enhances the clarity and appeal of the material. Whether you are a fan of old-school folk-rock or contemporary music, Perry’s records are going to be great for you! There is genuinely no constraint to the creativity and vision of this fantastic artist, and he is on a roll, consistently releasing amazing songs and building his growing fan-base.Perry Stevens currently records under Glass Curtain Records.
