Interview with Todd Stephens
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I wrote a song, "Third Grade" and was able to successfully studio record and get the music video done for. I am more proud of that project than any other. If you would like to see it, you can view it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNBZk7bKB7Y
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Currently I am working on writing more. My family has been through quite an ordeal for the past 2 years. I want to get those songs written from that time. I want to pour those emotions out in the songs. I think we are all on the same path - just on different points on that path. If I can write songs that will help other people move past rough times in their lives, then I will consider my music successful.
