Early life

Career
[edit]In 2022, Stevens released the song "Cochrane Avenue".[5] The next year, he released "Tomorrow Today", his first single to Canadian country radio.[6] The song would later reach the top 50 on the Billboard Canada Country chart.[3] In 2024, he was a semi-finalist in the SiriusXM Top of the Country competition.[7] Stevens also released the single "Whiskey in Colorado" in January 2024.[8][9] The song went on to reach the number eight on the Canada Country chart, while Stevens and his co-writers received a nomination for Songwriter(s) of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Country Music Awards for writing it.[3][10]
