Stephen Carey on SoundBetter

Over 250 five star reviews!! Nashville based country artist with over 14 million streams on my original music and featured in Rolling Stone multiple times. I will work with you to create what you need for vocals, electric or acoustic guitars, or bass and deliver quickly.

Already making waves in Nashville with over 14 million streams and counting, Stephen Carey is one of Rolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know”. Stephen’s songs have been featured on Spotify’s most highly coveted playlists, including New Music Friday and the US Viral 50. Having opened for Thomas Rhett, Jon Pardi, Parmalee, Kip Moore, Morgan Evans, Frankie Ballard, The Cadillac Three, Thompson Square, and Walker McGuire among others, Carey is poised to take the next leap in his career.

Born and raised in Jacksonville Florida, his formative years were spent honing his talents in all things music as a multi-instrumentalist and singer where WQIK’s John Scott said, “Carey has the chops, the look and the songs to be big time. His catchy, hook-laden tunes are packed into three-minute guitar-driven songs about life and love.” The smooth grit of Stephen’s alluring voice, honest and engaging songwriting, positive “can-do” attitude, and relatable personality continues to make champions and fans out of the industry’s top players.

    Delivered professionally tracked electric guitars for country-rock song, matching tone and style of a reference part and provided direct input files for each track as well. Highly recommend for your guitar needs!

    Stephen is brilliant to work with. He's 100% professional and a real nice guy too. He nailed my brief first time without having to do another revision. Exceptional musician/vocalist. He brought so much emotional depth and feeling to my song 'Grit and Grace'. Working with Stephen is so easy, he responds very quickly and knows exactly how a song should be sung. Loved working with this extremely talented guy. Thanks again for a great song Stephen! Hope to work with you again sometime.

    I sent Stephen a somewhat dreamy, adult contemporary song with a female vocalist. It needed a big change, and he did a great job on transforming it into a current-sounding, upbeat, country song. His vocals and harmonies blended nicely, bass and mandolin were perfect, and his guitar work was exceptional!

    Stephen's vocals are top-tier. He adapted to a challenging track that wasn't on grid and still delivered incredible takes with multiple options (wet/dry, harmonies, effects). Professional communication, fast turnaround, and clearly knows his craft. Would definitely work with him again.

    Stephen Carey just 'cranked-out' another great track for me! He's such a top-notch guitarist, vocalist, and so easy to work with that I can't help but keep coming back for more! 100% pleased (again!)

    Seriously. Don't hesitate. If you want your song to stand out and sound even better out loud than you hear it sounding in your head, trust Stephen Carey to make it happen. He's done several demos for me now, and he always finds that sweet spot, and never disappoints. A true talent, and a complete joy to work with. If you want it to be amazing, you want Stephen. I couldn't be happier.

    I just reached out to Stephen again for vocals on two songs because I remembered the excellent job he did on some of my material a while ago. Glad I did....yet more great work! Still the same very high level of professionalism too....takes all instructions on board, implementing every one of them with no delay. I'll certainly be back to him with future projects.

    I think I said this before, but there's really no need to to use anyone else other than Stephen. Easy to work, a great listener, KILLER voice, and he can "channel/sell the song" always, PERIOD! Thanks again Stephen!
