We had the pleasure of interviewing Stephen Sanchez over Zoom video.

Emerging as one of the year\u2019s fastest-rising breakthrough talents, buzzing Nashville-based singer and songwriter Stephen Sanchez debuts his highly-anticipated new EP, Easy On My Eyes, today via Mercury Records/Republic Records

In addition to Stephen\u2019s global smash \u201cUntil I Found You,\u201d the seven track EP includes his luminous new single \u201cSee The Light.\u201d On the song, acoustic guitar brushes up against his swooning vocals. A gorgeous hook takes flight above handclaps highlighted by a powerful crescendo with timeless grace and palpable energy.

Across Easy On My Eyes, Stephen recounts an unbelievable year since his emergence. He wrote nearly all of the songs on the EP himself and teamed up with Jamie Hartman [James Bay, Lewis Capaldi] and Jon Green [Lady A, Little Big Town] on \u201cHey Girl.\u201d He then worked with producers Ian Fitchuk [Kacey Musgraves, James Bay] and Konrad Snyder [Madi Diaz, Rainbow Kitten Surprise] in Nashville to bring the EP to life in one-take performances. The project illuminates his talent both as a vocalist and a songwriter.

Stirring up excitement for the project\u2019s arrival, Stephen continued to reach new career highs throughout the summer. \u201cUntil I Found You\u201d has amassed nearly 640 million global streams to date across all platforms, is RIAA Certified Gold, just hit #5 at AAA Radio this week, and continues to climb up the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Recently, he shared the 1950\u2019s-inspired music video for the single, which Rolling Stone exclusively gave a first look to and has collected over 20 million views since its release. He also delivered show-stopping performances of the song on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers, and meanwhile, sold-out headline shows in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Nashville, and more.
