Stephen Wesley (born October 13, 1978), is an award winning country music singer and songwriter. His notable collaborations include “Cowgirl” featuring Slash of Guns N' Roses,[1] “All Night Long” featuring Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth,[2] “South Shaker” featuring Bubba Sparxxx,[3] and “Rock N Roll” featuring Grammy Award winning rapper T-Pain.[4]
Background
Wesley was born in Beech Grove, Indiana but spent most of his early life in Colorado and Texas.[5] At eighteen, Wesley found himself in prison with an eight year sentence. After a chance encounter with the prison chaplain, Wesley discovered his love for music and was given the opportunity to learn the guitar and sing in the prison choir. For over six years, Wesley learned his craft as a musician and performed for inmates and residents of Colorado. Upon his release from prison, Wesley made it his mission to create music and inspire people. He continued this goal for eleven years before signing his first music contract with EnnEcho Records.
Musical career
Cowgirl
In 2014, Wesley released his popular song "Cowgirl" featuring Slash from Guns N' Roses fame as guitarist. The song played on radio stations throughout the country and was the number one song in several markets.
Welcome to the Whiskey Creek Saloon
On July 27, 2015, Wesley released his album "Welcome to the Whiskey Creek Saloon." The album featured collaborations with Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth fame and Bubba Sparxxx.
Rock N Roll
After a short break, Wesley returned to music, in 2018, releasing "Rock N Roll" with Grammy Award winning rapper T-Pain.[6] Wesley spent almost two years recording the song in different ways. "I think I demoed it four times. The last time, I was so happy because I felt like it was my best work. I immediately texted T-Pain and asked if I could send it to him. I did. I waited about 15 minutes and his reply was, 'This is dope. Let's do it.' I'll never forget it. And the song took on a whole new life when he was done," Wesley stated.[7]
