WHAT IT IS: Nashville-based singer/songwriter Stephen Sanchez has created quite a buzz in the last year. Amassing over 7m likes and 220k+ followers on TikTok, his track “Until I Found You” exploded on the platform, landing it in the Top 5 of Spotify’s Viral U.S. chart and Top 10 on the Global chart, where it remained for weeks earlier this year. Not long after inking a label deal, Sanchez teamed up with Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves) for his debut EP, What Was, Not Now, in 2021, and now, he’s joining forces with Fitchuk once again for his forthcoming EP, Easy on My Eyes.
