Stephen Sanchez performing in Sydney for Nova’s Red Room

Nova have announced that American singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez will perform at the upcoming Nova’s Red Room in Sydney on Wednesday, 7 June.

Hosted by Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie, the exclusive performance will be held at The Eveleigh By The Grounds, with Sanchez performing some of his latest tracks, including Until I Found You.

“Stephen Sanchez is one of the most talented new singer-songwriters and the ideal artist for Nova’s Red Room,” said NOVA Entertainment’s Group Program Operations Director, Brendan Taylor.

“Sanchez has an undeniable charisma, charm and sound with his hit Until I Found You transcending all formats and genres. Known not only for the high quality of his songs, he’s an incredible live performer so Nova’s Red Room guests are in for an amazing night.”

Sanchez fell in love with music in his grandparents’ house, spending hours searching through their original vinyl collection that included Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. 

In June 2020, he posted a TikTok cover of Cage The Elephant’s Cigarette Daydreams, which attracted over 161K views. He then continued to build an audience through consistent TikTok content. 

After sharing a snippet of Lady By The Sea, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker offered to produce an official version, which initially secured 4.5 million Spotify streams and landed Sanchez a deal with Republic Records.

Sanchez released the EP What Was, Not Now in October 2021 and in August 2022 Easy On My Eyes, which featured the multi-platinum single Until I Found You. The single shot into the Top 5 on the Spotify Daily Viral Songs USA Chart and Top 10 on the Spotify Daily Viral Songs Global Chart on release, gaining 7 million global streams in just a few months. 

In January 2023, he released the single Evangeline and in April 2023, Only Girl, with his headline tour kicking off in mid-May.
