Very professional: met all my instructions to the letter, quality of work excellent, vocals delivered exactly as I wanted - vibe a perfect fit, very expressive and immediately engaging - not in the slightest tentative nor bland - and melody as I wrote it. Will definitely hire him to sing on my material again!

Stephen is a talented young man. He understands the visions of your song and will always exceed the highest expectations. I can't believe that he hasn't been snatched up by big labels and booked solid around the world. Yeah, he's that good!

5th or 6th project completed with Stephen and this MFer just keeps getting better. Awesome guy. Amazing professional.
- check_circleVerified
Stephen is way to talented not to get signed by a major label, and when that happens he will not be available to sing our demos anymore. So I would advise everyone to hire him while you have the chance. There is no better vocalist & guitarist on this site. He is also a pleasure to work with.
- check_circleVerified
As usual Stephen delivered another perfect take. He's my go-to guy from now on!

Stephen did a great job on my project and provided a dry and FX mix for all of his work, he also was timely on the turnaround (3 days) for the project
- check_circleVerified
Stephen shines again...this batch of three songs were a challenge because the production was intentionally sparse. For normal singers, there would be nowhere to hide. For Stephen, it was just an opportunity to shine even brighter. And there's an undeniable sincerity and honesty in his delivery that only the great ones have. Thanks for singing these songs like they were your own and taking such good care of my stories.
- check_circleVerified
Stephen did wonderful vocals
great voice and very fast turn around time
will use him again - check_circleVerified
Stephen is fantastic to work with - a real talent. But beyond a great voice and artistic sensibilities, he's a true professional. Efficient, fast, mindful of the details - Stephen gets it right and keeps his commitments. Hire him...he's a great partner to have to bring your project to life. He really evolved my finished product on two songs and I've already engaged with him for three more. He makes it all easy and joyful- which is exactly how making music should be. Thanks, Stephen!

Excellent work. Really interpreted what I wanted, stuck to it enough to be familiar but improvised and had a take that made it feel I was listening to a version of my lyrics that a profession had done. Highly recommended.

Stephen was awesome to work with. He's got a great country voice and helped me produce a killer demo track. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get that country sound on a vocal track. He's the man and I will definitely be using him again soon!
Stephen is the real deal! After 35 years of producing and writing, I decided to try and have a "Dance Song-ish" track done w/ a country flare ... long story short! He nailed it! I've been on many .. many records throughout the years... Top 10s in dance and pop! Toured w/ the best of their time... and I just took a shot in the dark! Stephen killed it ... getting ready to send him another immediately! If you want professional, great sounding ... great communication... Look no farther! Mr. Carey is well worth it! -g
