ONE TO WATCH: KURT STEVENS

This week’s “One To Watch” is Florida-born singer-songwriter Kurt Stevens. Inspired by his love for the sunshine and seaside, Stevens’ lyrics create a beautifully crafted picture of his hometown, giving audiences a sense of serenity that he feels in his happy place. The classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist has come a long way since he started making music at four years old. The tropical troubadour has earned over 200 million Tik Tok impressions and over two million music streams to date.

Stevens dropped his debut album, Better with a Breeze, earlier this month, with each track celebrating the journey he’s been on in life and the people and places that got him there. See the full tracklist below.
